Joining the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties, I served as a Senior Test Development Specialist, later rising to the position of Director of Postgraduate Medical Education. My responsibilities included the management and improvement of a wide range of specialist healthcare licensing exams, spanning medicine, nursing, and dentistry.Throughout my career, I have remained rooted in academic medicine and effective education. Joining the faculty since the inception of the school, I have progressively assumed leadership roles. Currently, I serve as the Vice-Chair of the Department of Medical Education and the Course Director of the largest course in Phase 1,\"Mechanisms of Health and Disease\"(MHD). In addition to my teaching responsibilities, I lead the oversight of Pre-clinical MHD exam design.
