Healthcare and Education with Dr. Khawar Aizaz
This week’s guest is Dr. Khawar Aizaz.
In this episode of Career Can Do, Mary Ann Faremouth chats with Dr. Khawar Aizaz, Campus Director of the Texas Health School. The school has been doing some great things to facilitate the demand for health care professionals since the pandemic. Dr. Aizaz talks about the different curriculums they offer, and their duration.
Even before the pandemic, the Bureau of Labor Statistics was projecting a 16-20% increase in the demands for allied health professionals. “Our mission is to prepare future professionals in the healthcare industry,” Dr. Aizaz shares. One of the short programs offered by the Texas Health School is a medical assistant program - the day program is 32 weeks, and the evening program is 48 weeks. Their nursing program is a short four-week program that prepares students for working in nursing homes, taking care of patients, and is a stepping stone to becoming a vocational nurse in the future.
Dr. Aizaz has successfully transitioned his career from cardiothoracic surgeon to educator. After working for over 20 years, he decided to retire early and make an impact via education. Due to his background, he has been able to relate to his students’ goals and share his experiences with them.
