Dear Hiring Team:

I am an Egyptian\ American trained physician with a bachelor’s degree in human medicine and a master’s degree in clinical and chemical pathology received in 2005 from Ain Shams University. I have been trained and board certified in clinical pathology from the Egyptian Board of Medicine and Saudi Commission Accreditation. My degrees have been evaluated by the world education services in the United States. I served as a Clinical and Chemical Pathologist between 2005 and 2017. I practiced in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Med Park international laboratories. I have a wide array of teaching experience to medical students, residents, and laboratory trainees. My training in different countries, in multiple laboratory systems, and at different teaching institutions makes me a very well rounded in clinical pathology and laboratory medicine specially blood banking.
