Ruba Zaid Alotaibi

From the beginning of my medical journey, I was drawn to paediatrics as a specialty and a lifelong mission. I chose this field because I believe every child deserves a healthy start in life and that childhood experiences play a pivotal role in shaping the adults they become.

As a paediatrician, I am pleased to ensure our children grow nourishing and life-loving, ultimately contributing to building a strong and integrated society.

Paediatrics is more than just treating diseases; it fosters a future where children thrive physically, emotionally, and socially.

During medical school, my deep passion for paediatrics inspired me to take on a leadership role as the Paediatric Team Leader for the Medical Students Club. This rewarding experience not only allowed me to collaborate closely with my dedicated colleagues but also enabled me to lead a variety of innovative educational initiatives aimed at promoting awareness and advocacy for children's health on a broader scale.

Through this role, I honed my leadership skills, sharpened my planning abilities, and developed a strong ability to communicate effectively. I ensured that I interacted with all team members in a compassionate and flexible manner.

This experience positively impacted my commitment, responsibility, and self-confidence.

I was keen to receive training in the best paediatric canters in Saudi Arabia and step out of my comfort zone. Starting at the Children's Specialized Hospital and continuing in other hospitals allowed me to enhance my skills. This experience exposed me to a wide range of clinical cases, which enhanced my knowledge and gave me the necessary expertise to provide high-quality patient care.

Now, my goal is to secure a residency position at [hospital name], where I can continue to develop my clinical and professional skills under the supervision of expert mentors am eager to immerse myself in a rigorous training environment that challenges my ability to grow, hone my clinical judgment, and contribute meaningfully to paediatric care. With a strong work ethic, adaptability, and a deep passion for children's health,

I decided to become a competent paediatrician and one of the best in the field, dedicated to making a lasting impact on the lives of children and their families.
