I live in Lexington, N.C. I have three wonderful children. They are studying and finishing the Master's degree in their respective Universities. I love to teach and help students achieving their goals. I have been a practicing physician and Gynecologist & Obstetrician in Pakistan plus I have over 15 years of experience in this field. I did my PhD in Public Health in 2022. I absolutely love to engage in community for better health and prevention.

Description

This interdisciplinary field seeks answers for the complex health considerations relating to women, pregnancy, reproduction, and infant and child well being. This course will explore the principles of infant, child, and women’s health in developing and underdeveloped nations. Through coursework and case studies in maternal and infant health, child and adolescent health, and community based needs assessments, students will explore the unique needs of this population. Additionally, maternal nutritional recommendations for a healthy pregnancy and the most common nutrition-related pregnancy complications; obesity and gestational diabetes will be discussed.
