In November, Dr. Mohamud Karim returned to his position as medical director for renal services at Fraser Health after an 18-month leave of absence. The position involves responsibility for two in-centre renal programs, three community dialysis units, the largest peritoneal dialysis program in BC, and a very large chronic kidney disease program.
The Surrey-based nephrologist says he enjoys the variety that his administrative responsibilities add to his ongoing daily clinical work.
“Clinical medicine allows you to have an impact working with patients one at a time,” says Karim, “but when you have a chance to build and grow a program, you can improve things at a much larger level for many patients. It can be very exciting.”
During his recent absence, Karim, who is a devoted member of Canada’s Ismaili community, worked on activities related to celebration of the Aga Khan’s golden jubilee, and the Ismaili leader’s visit to Canada in December. Karim says the Aga Khan has a special fondness for Canada.
Born in Kenya, Karim first moved to Canada as a teenager with his parents in 1972. He attended medical school at UBC and chose nephrology because it offered more variety and scope for clinical practice than other areas of medical specialization.
