My Story
Meet Dr. Suliman Ahmed: Pioneering Pediatric and Healthcare Leadership
After more than six years’ practice as a committed pediatrician it was my vocation to have the interest of my patients as a priority. Employed for a number of hospitals in Saudi Arabia, I have gained vast experience of both the pace and the demands of the hospital environment, administrative stability and improvement in the health of critically ill children and teams.
Throughout my journey, I relished the opportunity to contribute to the enhancement of pediatric care through research, publication and as a peer reviewer and an editorial board member. But as I advanced in my career I found out that there are other ways that I could help others apart from treating patients. This motivated me to empower patients or families facing numerous challenges in the complicated healthcare systems to receive the appropriate help they require.
In parallel to my clinical practice, I continued to serve in the capacity of a Medical Interpreter employed by one of the largest Language Services in the state of Virginia, helping provide equal access to care removing all cultural barriers that might hinder anyone from receiving the necessary treatment.
While my professional path has evolved, my core values of excellence, compassion and a relentless pursuit of improving patient outcomes have remained constant. I keep on expanding my experiences in the healthcare field, including a year’s deep dive in the health insurance industry through two separate roles, as an agent and an independent broker, measuring its impact and effectiveness on patients. My goal now is to advocate for patients, assist other clinical professionals and actively participate in the larger community of health care.
Looking ahead, I am energized by the chance to make a broader impact in healthcare recruitment and clinical settings. I continue to hold the vital interest of patients and physicians with patients’ right to quality and compassionate care across the population.
