About

I graduated from Ain Shams University in Cairo (MB, ChB 1986), Egypt. My higher surgical training was completed in the United Kingdom (CCST in Otolaryngology 2001) after I obtained my fellowship at The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (FRCSEd 1994) and the Intercollegiate Board Examination in Otolaryngology (FRCS-ORL 1999).
My Fellowship training in Pediatric Otolaryngology was at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto from July 1999 -June 2001. I have been in my current post since June 2002.

I am the Pediatric Otolaryngology Fellowship Program Director, and the Clinical Research Director for the Department of Surgery at the University of Alberta. I am also the Lead Physician of the Aerodigestive and Aspiration Program at the Stollery Children's Hospital.
