Hello,

I AM DR. WASIF CHISTY

& I am a Pulmonologist

About Me

From the wards of Faridpur Medical College (Class of 2012) to the heart of rural healthcare in our upazilas, my journey has been defined by a commitment to service and learning.

After joining the government health service in 2014 and clearing my FCPS Part-I, I spent years serving at the rural upazila level — an experience that deepened my understanding of our people’s needs. This passion for excellence led me to become a Member of the Bangladesh College of Physicians and Surgeons (MCPS, 2022) and to complete my specialised training with an MD in Pulmonology from Bangladesh Medical University (BMU) in 2024.

Now, as an Assistant Professor, I am honoured to translate these years of clinical experience and academic rigour into lessons for my students — dedicated to the mission of advancing respiratory health in Bangladesh.
