Senior Attending Physician, Sidra Medicine, Doha Qatar
Dr. Petrovski graduated in 1997 from Medical School in Skopje, Macedonia. His background as Professor and Endocrinologist presents a treatment of 1280 patients on insulin pump, evaluation of 4.250.000 sensor glucose days, 81 personalized insulin pump workshops for physicians and educators and Keynote Speaker/Invited Lecturer on international conferences on diabetes technology in Europe, USA, Middle East, Asia and Africa. He is also visiting Professor in several medical schools in Europe and Asia.
Petrovski was active medical student as President of National Association and Chief of student journal. His initial endocrine training was in Skopje with fellowship in USA, France and Italy.
