All general ENT and Paediatric ENT conditions treated.

All general ENT and paediatric ENT procedures.

In the arena of otolaryngology I consider myself a general otolaryngologist with a strong interest in the subspecialty of Paediatric Otolaryngology.  As far as I know I am the only Malaysian to have gone overseas to work in a paid job in a paediatric otolaryngology unit for hands on experience, not in a mere “observer attachment” capacity.

The outstanding part of my experience in Universtiy Malaya Medical Centre over four years was the development of expertise in the paediatric airway.  I worked very closely with the Paediatricians of University Malaya Medical Centre, in particular the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit and Respiratory Paediatric Medicine.  I also work closely with Paediatricians involved in Gastroenterology and children with voice problems and delayed development.

Academic experience

I was in Universtiy Malaya for four years from 2003 to 2007 as a senior lecturer, teaching undergraduate and postgraduate students.  I was involved in some minor innovations in methods of teaching and assessment/evaluation.

Since then, I have been invited for the last three years to teach undergraduates at Monash University Malaysia and at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia for their Masters in Family Medicine.
