showcase 74 February 2014 www.womanthismonth.com WTM: Why did you choose to study at University of Strathclyde? Dr Zahra: I was looking for a part-time course in management while working at American Mission Hospital as the chief of dental services. I had asked the HR manager at the time, Dr Graham Orme, about good UK-based MBA programmes. University of Strathclyde was his first choice. It is among the top MBA programmes and I did not need to look anywhere else. I knew I had chosen a good career path. WTM: How has studying at University of Strathclyde altered your future? Dr Zahra: As a healthcare professional, we have always been trained to look at facts and not make assumptions, ie evidence-based dentistry. The MBA programme has taught me to think outside the box and change the way I think. It has given me a broader perspective of the way I view things. I wanted an MBA degree to assist me in my position as a manager. Although it isn’t unique to start a private practice, I learned from Strathclyde’s MBA programme how to design my practice to make it distinct from others; I achieved it successfully. WTM: How do you think University of Strathclyde has updated itself? Dr Zahra: I think that hiring graduates to do local tutoring for current students is an excellent idea because they can share their experiences as alumni to prospective students and help them.
