Driving Innovation in Endocrinology: Clinical Research and Education with Dr. Naveed Younis

Advancements in clinical research, education, and treatment are transforming health care and saving lives. Among those who are helping drive transformation in the field of endocrinology is the highly regarded Dr. Naveed Younis, who is actively involved as a Principal Investigator and Sub-Investigator in clinical trials throughout the region.

Currently, Dr. Younis is examining and researching treatment for lipid disorders and diabetic therapies including new form of insulin pump that continuously administers essential insulin to patients.

Clinical Research and Traditional Exams Move Hand in Hand. While in months of teaching and lectures gain substantial insight into patients’ needs, clinical research and patient examinations also play a central role in Dr. Younis’ work. In his work as a Principal Investigator, Dr. Younis and those assisting him take on various roles to coordinate and develop specific components of the research trials such as study slack, accountability for trial treatment, and orders for test and courses of action.

As Sub-Investigator, Dr. Younis focuses on assessing the health of those participating in the trials including conducting blood tests, checking blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature, as well as reporting noted side effects, complications that arise, lab test abnormalities, and filing reports to the FDA.

In his clinical medical practice, the Sub-Investigator functions as the patient’s doctor. In this role, a Sub-Investigator participates in counseling the patient overseeing drug requests, sends treatment orders, handles complications during the trial, and offers phone calls, prescription refills, and continuous therapy.

Clinical Observation Shapes Teaching. At this enlightening moment in medicine, the need for highly trained specialists is vital. The common goal of professionals in every field, whether educator, nurse, or physician, is to find the best options for treating and serving patients, to foster the best outcomes of productivity, achievement, and quality.

Committed to meeting this goal, physicians are always learning, training, and sharing information and insight. In his role as Regional Training Programme Director to the United Kingdom National Health Service, Dr. Younis provides instruction to new physicians and mentors his new colleagues. As an educator, he is constantly on-the-go with many responsibilities including patient presentations, planning educational sessions, and reviewing study reports.

When physicians embark on surgical training, they have the opportunity to discover diverse techniques not often taught in books. They directly learn from experienced and highly skilled physicians. Dr. Younis takes advantage of his superb mentors and is grateful for the rare opportunity to shadow some of the best doctors throughout the U.K.

A Career Committed to Patients

The heart of health care is to deliver quality and improve treatment success. Dr. Younis is devoted to widening horizons in the field and helping bring about new and advanced medical methods—methods that can truly benefit all patients.
