Dr Naznin started her career as a haematopathologist in Kulliyyah of Medicine, International Islamic University Malaysia in 1998. Prior to that, she served as a pathologist in the field of Haematology and Transfusion Medicine in Hospital Raja Perempuan Zainab II, Kota Bharu, Kelantan and Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan, Kuantan, Pahang. She teaches in the field of Haematology, Transfusion Medicine and General Pathology for both medical and health sciences undergraduates and basic medical sciences and clinical sciences postgraduates. She presently serves as a haematopathologist in Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan, Kuantan, Pahang.
Her research work, paper presentations and publications in the field of Haematology and Transfusion Medicine are diverse. They include thalassaemias, myelodysplastic syndrome, transient myelopoiesis, blood film and bone marrow examinations, immune thrombocytopenic purpura, transfusion reactions, informed consent in transfusion medicine, donor deferral and other related topics.
In addition, she has a special interest in Medical Education mainly related to teaching-learning methods in medicine particularly Problem-based Learning (PBL). She conducts PBL workshops for other medical schools as well as non-medical academicians at university and college levels. She also carries out trainings in assessment methods for medical and health sciences academicians. Her research, publications and presentations in the field of Medical Education include PBL, case method, Islamic Input in medical curriculum and the teaching of ethics.
