Three new Family Medicine Residents are now at the Chatham-Kent Health Alliance (CKHA).

Dr. Farwa Zaib, Dr. Mandeep Dran, and Dr. Saheer Majeed began working with CKHA in July, part of their post-graduate training.

“Chatham-Kent provides a unique and supportive environment for residents to grow both personally and professionally,” said Dr. Zeke Milkovic, chief of staff with CKHA.

“They will have the chance to collaborate with dedicated healthcare teams and gain hands-on experience in diverse areas of family medicine. We are excited to see the impact they will have on our patients and the broader community during their time with us.”

Zaib studied at the University of Windsor, earning her Bachelor of Science. She got her Doctor of Medicine in London at the Schulich School of Medicine.

“I am excited to begin my residency in family medicine,” said Zaib.

“I’m particularly looking forward to training in Chatham, as the smaller hospital setting offers a more personalized, hands-on learning experience and the chance to build strong connections within the healthcare team.”

Dran went to York University for Bachelor of Arts. She got her Doctor of Medicine at Avalon University School of Medicine.

“I enjoy the idea of being involved in preventative care, education, and advocacy,” said Dran.

“After completing my residency, I plan to continue to build my clinical skills while exploring opportunities to contribute to underserved communities where I can provide comprehensive care and build long-term relationships with patients.”

Majeed went to medical school in Pakistan, before moving to Alberta to get a Master of Public Health at the University of Alberta.

“My father was a family physician cardiologist, so I wanted to be a doctor like him my whole life,” said Majeed.

“I want to take these residency years to explore my interests and get experience in the [family medicine] field.”
