Dr. Mashaal Sabqat is a prominent medical education researcher whose work has been instrumental in understanding the rapid transformation of teaching and learning during global crises. Her primary research areas include online pedagogy, medical curriculum adaptation, and the psychosocial impacts of educational disruption. Dr. Sabqat’s most cited study, “A Bumpy Road to Online Teaching: Impact of COVID-19 on Medical Education” (2020, 30 citations), provides critical insights into the challenges faced by medical faculty in Pakistan during the sudden shift to digital instruction. Through a mixed-methods survey of medical teachers, she documented the systemic barriers—from technological inadequacies to pedagogical unpreparedness—that hindered effective online learning. This work has become a foundational reference for post-pandemic curriculum reforms, cited by researchers and policymakers seeking to build resilient medical education systems.
