I gained valuable experience in acute coronary cases and treatment of cardiac emergencies and arrhythmias. I also participated in the outpatient follow up department where I acquired experience in long term management of children with congenital heart disease as I have been fully involved in performing diagnostic cardiac catheterization angiography, and obtaining endomyocardial biopsy. I am still closely linked with the center by attending regular seminars and being involved with the program of continued medical education. As a member of different Socities, I take part in organizing regular regional meetings Currently we are in the process of developing a modern cardiological services center for the region. I also attend many of the National and international cardiology conferences and keep up to date with most recent advanced in cardiology.
