Leadership and Management

Being a co-founder of a private institute in Egypt that teaches proven-benefit instructed second language acquisition (ISLA) for hundreds of middle aged persons, my leadership skills were introduced to me. Leadership soft skills were part of our monthly audit when evaluating teachers and supervisors. I practically understand that the inspiring leader has to have sets of goals including, but not limited to, helping employees reach their goals, coaching, mentoring, delegation, facilitating, giving clear feedback, team building, supervising, encouraging, collaboration and problem solving.

Throughout my role as a co-founder, I followed a management policy that focused on engagement of employees to achieve an autonomous work environment. Moreover, recognition and feedback, as excellent ways of motivating the whole team, were applied.

Teaching

  • Informal teaching was given in my current post (Ahmed Orabi Hospital) and my previous post (Nasr City Hospital). Examples :
    Topic 1 : Nutrition boosting for immunocompromised patients
    Audience: Patients (20-30 patients), nurses and the specialist of nutrition in the hospital, January 2020.
    Teaching method used: Inquiry-based learning
    Topic 2 : Guarding against dehydration in cancer patients
    Audience: Patients (20-30 patients) and their caregivers, April 2019.
    Teaching method used: Lectures
    Topic 3 : Removing barriers to pain medications
    Audience: Nurses, patients of the Outpatient Clinic having misconceptions about some pain killers and their caregivers, May 2016
    Teaching method used: Inquiry-based learning

Hobbies and interests

If I were not a physician, I would have been a molecular cytogeneticist. I am fascinated by gene functions and how tiny

changes in bases, measured in nanometers, can adversely affect human generations

I also enjoy long walks, fishing, reading and mushroom hunting.
