Profl (Dr) Usha Dabas

Hi, everyone! Welcome to my first blog post!

At the outset, with great excitement and gratitude, I would like to introduce myself to you!

I am Prof (Dr.) Usha Dabas- a healthcare professional (HOP), educationist, speaker, author and writer with over 32 years of academic, clinical and administrative expertise in various fields of Healthcare. I am Director & Healthcare Faculty at Springfield College of Healthcare, ON, Canada and also serving as curriculum specialist and program designer-healthcare programs & subject matter expert-for Career Colleges (CC) program assessments in Canada for the past over 12 years.

Along with serving as a professor, PG Guide & researcher in various international universities throughout my professional career, I have a penchant for writing and that’s why I am here with you!

I am happy to share that I have authored 17 Textbooks on the general and specialty subject matters in the healthcare field. I have also authored and published books in the fields of mental health and literature. Mental Health is yet another subject of deep interest for me. I have also carried out extensive community healthcare and social work activities and healthcare program presentations through social media, TV, radio, press, newspapers and news magazines. My life philosophy is shaped by the exclusive viewpoint I possess as a result of my years of experience as a HOP and my prosperous life trajectory, where I continued learning and simultaneously guided individuals and organizations; established, managed and mentored powerful collaborative relationships.

The important attribute of my passion for writing and educating others is an opportunity I avail to know my students, people I met on my life trajectory, their thought processes and behaviors. I am of the opinion that a good writer is a good guide and good leader too, who efficiently provides individuals with the tools to work on themselves for their betterment and achieve success. As a professor, one of the essential qualities I ever wanted to implant in my students is the ability to think critically and apply learnt knowledge in distinctive ways for problem solving in their personal and professional lives. In my opinion, as a writer and educator, critical thinking and analytical aptitude carry great values. They do incorporate readers’ and learners’ interest, inquisitiveness and passion for the knowledge, information and constant learning. Life philosophy also contributes to the development of a dynamic and creative culture of instruction- a culture created by educators or writers and continues and advances by development of individuals, I believe.

My professional life success story is a modest example of patience, perseverance and rising back to an upright position after having fallen down while facing challenges of daily life and of what can be achieved with dedication, resolve and determination. In Canada, carrying with me many years of expertise in the field of post-secondary education, I successfully established myself as a competent business-woman entrepreneur, educationist and author with a leadership position influencing the arena of education with active educational and training strategies. Powered with my determination, hard working nature and work ethos, I am always ready to impart the necessary educational resources to all my aspiring students and quality writing for my readers.

In 2020, after realizing that large numbers of people have developed mental health issues due to the lockdown and change of lifestyle during COVID-19 pandemic situation, I wrote a book on mental health titled as “ANXIETY & DEPRESSION - A JOURNEY FROM SUFFERING TO THRIVING: An inspiring story of a Mental Health Warrior”. This book received appreciation from the Premier of Canada for writing on the crucial subject of mental health. The book is very well appreciated by healthcare workers, professionals and readers globally.

At the age of 18, after starting my life journey as a small-town, ambitious girl, a university topper to an established medical professional, international university professor, writer-author to director of a Canadian healthcare institution—life has come a long way in the last 40 yrs!! My professional life experiences and social experiments made me independent, thoughtful and learned to understand the world in my own way. These experiences and experiments made me grow fast and an effective, helpful guide to others as I believe in transforming lives and communities through my work, my takeaway and success stories.

Why blog writing?

I always feel excited to share my knowledge, passion and all wonderful personal experiences to my readers, and they apparently like to read them and listen to these stories. Blogs can be a great way to connect with others who share our interests, fostering a sense of community and engagement. My blogs are my creative outlet, a way to express myself, my passions, and engage my readers in a creative process. My write ups help me engage with my readers and students through comments, queries, socialising, and other interactions which help me build connections with like-minded, knowledge-seekers, mutually inspiring and motivated individuals. My blogs also help me reach a wider audience and build a community of loyal readers who are interested in my content.

My blogs encompass a wide range of subjects, from healthcare topics to personal stories and reflections to in-depth analysis on specific industries or topics of social interest. Writing has always been my strong passion, and I hope you will enjoy my blog posts and topic selection of my blog posts.

My Philosophy is- We determine our self-worth! In life, no struggle means no progress. Life only changes when we are committed to our aims and not just dreams. Take decisions, find the passion, use your capabilities to convert in your best performance. Our greatest success is not in never failing, but in rising every time we fail. Be the winner and be your sunshine always! BE YOUR OWN MENTOR-Make your creator proud of you!
