Maitha Obaid Almatrooshi

I am a motivated and newly graduated physician from the Emergency Medicine program, certified by the Emirati board. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in emergency medicine, underscored by a profound passion for critical care and point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). I am committed to delivering exceptional patient care in high-pressure environments and thrive on the challenge of making quick, informed decisions.

My passion for education drives me to mentor junior colleagues, fostering a supportive environment for their development. Eager to expand my expertise, I seek opportunities to enhance my skills while making a meaningful impact in emergency medicine. I am confident that my dedication and enthusiasm will contribute significantly to any medical team, improving patient care and advancing healthcare standards.
