Insights on future prospects for medical professionals in Europe


It was a pleasure to deliver a lecture at the Lahore Medical & Dental College with around 500 attendees (health professionals) in #Lahore , Pakistan. The first part of the lecture covered the personal, professional and academic decade-long journey from Punjab University, Lahore, to Finland. In the second part of the speech, various higher education (Masters & PhD) and career possibilities in Finland and Europe were discussed as registered healthcare professionals. Tips and tricks were provided to find suitable degree programs and registration processes for health care providers (Nurses, Pharmacists, Doctors, Dentists etc.). Additionally, an introduction to Finland's Talent attraction programs, #TalentBoost and #workinfinland were discussed.

Many Thanks to Lahore College of Pharmacy LMDC and Dean Dr Naeem Mubarak for an invitation as a guest speaker in their annual GSM 2023 (Grand Student Meeting). I am thankful to all the participants, teachers, and administration who helped to organise and attend the lecture.
Last but not least, the backend efforts of #TeamGimara and Gimara Ltd for preparing the lecture and supporting the internationalisation process of Finland align with Finland's internationalisation Vision 2030.
