In 2007 I received my bachelor’s degree in medicine and surgery from the Arab Medical University. It was at this time I got the chance to work at the Tripoli Medical center where I was assigned to the department of cardiothoracic surgery. This sharpened my skills and understanding of medicine. I was an active member in attending conferences and lectures. It is also at this time I worked in the cardiothoracic intensive care unit for eighteen months dealing with patients, who were mainly adults with various cardiothoracic ailments.
The two years I spent working at the Tripoli Medical Center proved to be the core for my yearning to partake in clinical research in cardiothoracic surgery. However, as much as I learned how to administer medication to handle various cardiac and thoracic conditions, I felt that the time spent there was too short to give me a satisfactory measure as to how prolific I want to be in this particular discipline. Hence, in order to fully improve my knowledge and skill in clinical research, I desire to pursue a PHD program in science and specialize in clinical and basic science research.

I have done volunteer work as an observer at the UC Davis Medical Center Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery with Professor Davis Cooke and Roy Calhoun. I helped maintain the research on the thoracic surgery database and I am actively participating in a study on how an academic center can move from open lobectomy to VATS lobectomy as an up-front therapy for early stage lung cancer, and maintain a quality resident operative education. Prior to this I was a Teaching Assistant at the University of Misrata from April 2008 to January 2010 where I prepared lectures for third year medical students and prepared pre lab tutorials, equipment and helped faculty members in the mid- term and final
