Application for Teaching Team - Basic First Aid and First Response
10 comments
As a passionate medical student, I always seek opportunities to share life-saving knowledge in a practical, accessible manner with non-medical individuals. With enthusiasm, I now wish to expand this trend of knowledge-sharing within the Steemit community. Therefore, I am submitting my application for the Steemit Learning Challenge for Season 21, focusing on Basic First Aid and First Response, offering essential skills applicable in real-life emergencies.
INTRODUCTION |
|---|
I am Muhammad Abdullah Naveed, a third-year medical student at Dow University of Health Sciences. My medical education has provided me with a robust foundation in clinical and emergency medicine. I find it fascinating to translate my theoretical knowledge into practice by teaching people what I am most passionate about—First Aid. I have contributed to my community as an official instructor at FRIP (First Response Initiative of Pakistan), and I look forward to expanding this knowledge through the Steemit platform.
I have completed several medical and first aid courses, including:
• FRIP Level 1 and Level 2
• Basic Life Support (BLS) and CPR Certification – 2023
• First Aid and Trauma Response Workshop – 2024
At FRIP, I have also guided my peers through various workshops, ensuring they understand basic life-saving techniques and emergency response protocols. This will be my first time officially teaching on Steemit, and I am excited about the opportunity to offer a course that can positively impact real lives.
In addition to my work with FRIP, I have been actively involved in teaching for the past four years across various institutions. My primary focus has been on medical and pre-medical education, where I aim to prepare and guide students through foundational and advanced topics in healthcare. I believe in making complex concepts simple and accessible, ensuring my students can apply their knowledge effectively in real-life scenarios.
Beyond medical education, I have also ventured into cryptocurrency education, where I served as a professor for two seasons at the Steemit Crypto Academy. During my tenure, I developed and delivered lessons focused on cryptocurrency basics, investment strategies, and blockchain technology. This experience broadened my teaching skills, allowing me to engage with a diverse audience and explore my passion for education in different fields.
Teaching is more than a responsibility for me; it is a hobby and a passion. I am dedicated to imparting knowledge in ways that are engaging, practical, and interactive, whether it’s in medical training or technical education. My consistent commitment to my teaching duties stems from a genuine desire to share my skills and empower others with practical, life-saving knowledge.
My brother, Huzaifa Naveed, will join me in delivering this course. Here’s a brief introduction to him:
• Profession: Dental Surgeon
• Experience: Currently practicing in a hospital and managing his own clinic.
• Teaching Background: Huzaifa has extensive experience tutoring for the MCAT (Medical College Admission Test) at various tuition centers in Pakistan. He has also taught advanced medical school subjects such as Anatomy, Physiology, Endodontics, and Surgery.
• Certifications: Huzaifa has also completed Basic Life Support (BLS) courses through FRIP, equipping him with essential emergency response skills that he will bring to this course.
Huzaifa's Experience on Steemit
Huzaifa joined the Steemit platform in April 2021, and since then, he has actively blogged with dedication, earning the title of Best Author in 2021. He is also an exemplary student of the Steemit Crypto Academy, having completed several lessons on cryptocurrency.
