• While I was a student at medical school, I was always interested in Infectious diseases and Microbiology. In my final year, I volunteered to work in the laboratory. I wanted to learn more, gain practical experience in areas I was passionate about, develop myself, and prepare for future work and research.
• I gained hands-on experience with tasks such as: culturing samples from stool, urine, sputum, and bronchoalveolar lavage; performing quick stool tests and stool microscopy.
• working with serological assays to titrate and precisely handle species such as Brucella, Treponema, and Echinococcus etc.
• interpreting autoantibodies and their subtypes, such as ANA, in the immunofluorescence lab.
• performing acid-fast staining and culture inoculation in the tuberculosis lab.
• understanding the basics of ELISA, centrifugation, and performing tests in the ELISA laboratory.
• studying ESBL in emergency bacteriology, classifying cultured samples.
• learning how samples are processed in the PCR lab, understanding when a sample is positive, and recognizing that incubation times vary by disease and that samples need to be stored for a specific period.

During my final year, while on my pediatric rotation, I gave an interactive oral presentation on Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome at a conference attended by faculty members, residents, and students from the field. I engaged the audience throughout the presentation and answered questions at the end.

I co-authored and presented a case report on Hypersensitivity

Pneumonitis with my pulmonology professor.

• As a student during my final year, while working on my pediatric rotation, I co-authored the chapter 'Stem Cell Treatment in Epilepsy' in the book 'Stem Cells in Child Neurology Practice: A Multidisciplinary Approach', which was written collaboratively by many doctors nationwide, under the guidance of my pediatric neurology professor.
