Background
Dr. Mubarak trained at the renowned College of Anaesthetists in Ireland; and in 2014, went on to complete her Anaesthesia and Basic Pain Training. Upon completing the latter, she joined the Pain Fellowship Training Program at Australia’s Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, in Sydney. Of note, Dr Mubarak’s training in both countries, included applying a holistic approach to chronic pain management and rehabilitation.
Sydney Teaching University Hospital is classed as a ordinal pain referral point for treating women who suffer from pelvic pain. To that end, Dr Mubarak joined the former in order to attain a fellowship by working as part of a pain team of neurology specialists.This empowered her with a wealth of experience in managing patients with neurology disorders and long-term pain issues, and included those with post-stroke headaches and pain, and multiple sclerosis. In addition to the aforementioned, this special training also allowed Dr Mubarak to study the difficulties of prescribing patients with high doses of opioids and methadone to control their severe pain, thus enabling her to broaden her understanding of pain medication management.
Driven to expand her pain management skills with more specialised training, during her fellowship program in Australia, Dr Mubarak also worked with Drug and Alcohol consultants. After this, she decided to specialise in cancer pain and neuromodulation. To that end, in 2016, she took part in another pain fellowship program, this time in Leeds, England. Then in 2017, her quest for optimum pain management took her to the US, where after further studies, she was awarded the FIPP (Fellowship of Interventional Pain Practice Examination).
