Dr. Erum Khan is a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians, Edinburgh (FRCPE), and holds a Master’s in Health Professions Education (MHPE). A pioneer in simulation-based medical education, she led the integration of simulation across the undergraduate medical curriculum at Gulf Medical University (GMU), UAE, for over 12 years. She later directed simulation education and faculty development at Mohamed Bin Rashid University in Dubai. Dr. Khan established key initiatives, including the first Clinical Skills Lab (2007) and Innovative Center for Advanced Simulation (2014) in the UAE, and the American Heart Association Life Support Training Center (2011). She also led community outreach programs teaching CPR to high school students. An award-winning educator and researcher, Dr. Khan is recognized for her dedication to advancing clinical simulation and medical education regionally and internationally.
