A Message from the President
Muhammad Farooq Anwar MD
Dear Nishtarians,
It is an honor and a profound privilege to serve you as President of Nishtar Alumni of North America. Wherever we now live and practice, our journey began in Multan—shaped by the discipline, compassion, and community spirit we learned at Nishtar. That shared heritage binds us together and calls us to lift one another, support our juniors, and give back to the patients and institutions that formed us.
Our Focus for the Year
- Connection & Community – Build a culture where Nishtarians can find mentorship, fellowship, and collaboration—across specialties and across borders—grounded in respect and service.
- Career & Mentorship – Expanding structured guidance for students, graduates, residents, and fellows—especially around electives, research, residency match strategy, and career transitions.
- Care & Impact – Channeling our collective expertise and generosity into transparent, needs-driven initiatives to support patient care, medical education, and capacity building at Nishtar and in underserved communities here at home.
