What drew me to GME: Having worked in a doctor's office before, I already had an appreciation for the medical field and assisting doctors in patients’ wellbeing. This opportunity presented a different challenge in assisting the resident doctors in their educational success and their wellbeing.
What do I like to do in my free time: In this stage of life, my free time is mostly (and happily) devoted to my family and my faith. A dad of two girls makes for lots of play and pretend time. Needless to say, my wife and I enjoy our downtime, talking about life or watching movies. We enjoy learning and fellowshipping with our church family a couple times a week. I find a respite in getting up before everyone to exercise and on the weekends playing some video games after everyone has gone to bed.

Ayesha Anwar, MDAyesha Anwar, MD

Hometown: Lahore, Pakistan
Undergraduate School: Kinnaird College for Women
Medical School: Allama Iqbal Medical College
What drew me to Internal Medicine: I always appreciated how internists gather clues, learn to ask the right questions, and critically analyses each piece of information that makes up a challenging case. Finding the link between biology, physiology, and diverse anatomical functions is incredibly satisfying to my detective core. Equally important, the patient-physician relationship in the internal medicine helps me to remember that, behind every diagnosis, is a person with a unique story, worldview, belief system, and core values. This gives me a privilege to learn to provide patient management as a whole.
What do I like to do in my free time: Reading books, Painting, Interior designing and Travelling with friends and family.
