The team at Craigmore Family Practice is pleased to welcome Dr. Fatima Syed as one of the consulting doctors at the clinic.

Dr. Fatima Syed is a general practitioner (GP) with expertise in mental health. As a graduate of Dow Medical College Karachi, she spent time in Pakistan, Canada and the Middle East. The wide range of experience broadened her horizons and sparked her interest in different cultures and medical fields particularly mental health . Dr. Syed moved to Australia in 2012 with her family and settled in Adelaide.

Dr Syed graduated with distinction from Dow Medical College (DMC) Pakistan in 2000; she completed internships in internal medicine and Gynaecology at Civil Hospital Karachi, Pakistan (a 1,900-bed public hospital).

To pursue her clinical career, she passed the Medical Council of Canada (MCC) and the United States medical licensing exams (USMLE). During her stay in Canada, she also volunteered for psychological counselling of new immigrants and refugees in Canada.

During her time as a psychological Subject Matter Expert (SME) with the American Department of Defence , Dr. Syed was in charge of the two detainee camps. She provided psychological counselling to Iraqi detainees and prisoners of war (POW) including children and helped reintegrate them into society. This work helped her appreciate the importance of compassion and empathy. She also completed externships at the US Army Combat hospitals and volunteered for The American Red cross. She later joined a Family Physician office in Canada and continued teaching at ASUM.

In 2012, Dr Syed was employed by Adelaide Metro Mental Health and since then she has been working in Australia, initially as a mental health doctor and lately as a GP.
