- Make independent, skilled clinical decisions across all aspects of endocrinology and internal medicine.
- Collaborate closely with other members of the Department of Internal Medicine and related specialties to optimize patient outcomes.

Required Qualifications
- MRCP (UK) with a minimum of three years’ experience working in the UK healthcare system.
- American Board certification in Internal Medicine with sub-specialty training and certification in endocrinology, including CCST (UK) or an equivalent qualification.
- Full and unencumbered registration as a medical practitioner with the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC).
- Demonstrated excellence in clinical care within endocrinology and internal medicine, supported by relevant training and experience.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills to effectively interact with patients, relatives, and multidisciplinary teams.
- Ability to relate empathetically and professionally to patients and their families.
- Proven capability to work collaboratively as part of a multidisciplinary healthcare team.

Preferred Qualifications and Benefits
While not explicitly stated, candidates with experience in a multidisciplinary clinical environment and those who have contributed to postgraduate medical education will find this role particularly rewarding. SKMCH&RC is committed to fostering professional development and offers a supportive environment for consultants to advance their clinical and academic careers. The institution’s recognition by CPSP for endocrinology training underscores its dedication to excellence in medical education and patient care.
