About Dr Reenam S Khan

I started ST4 training in GUM after completing 3 years of Internal Medicine (IMT) training. I have always enjoyed patient interaction. There is never a dull day in GUM. I derive immense satisfaction diagnosing and treating sexually transmitted infections (STIs) on the same day most of the time. GUM training also involves HIV care. With the advances in anti-retroviral medications, people living with HIV now have a similar life expectancy to people without HIV. Managing multiple co-morbidities is intellectually stimulating. As a CMT, my primary goal is to achieve my general medicine competencies and pass the MRCP examinations. Attending a PACES course was valuable for seeing rarer clinical presentations. To enhance my teaching skills, I obtained a ‘Doctors as Educators’ accreditation from the RCP.  During my PhD time, I also attended a course on ‘Introduction to Flow Cytometry’.
