Our work was recently presented by my summer intern and undergraduate student at the Annual Symposium of the Arkansas Bioscience Institute. The protocol to this systematic review was recently published bmjopen.bmj.com/content/16/1… Proud mentor 👏 #ClinicalResearch #Mentorship

Congratulations 🎉

Ibrahim, it’s been fantastic working with you over the last one year and I know there is a lot more to come. Congratulations 🎉 and regards to colleagues at Habib Medical School.

MENTORSHIP 🇺🇬 One year ago, I made a commitment to start a mentorship program aimed at exposing medical students and early-career doctors (Acute Medical Officers), to research opportunities. Having gone through medical school in Uganda 🇺🇬, I witnessed firsthand how many talented medical students and young doctors miss out on research opportunities that could transform their careers simply because they lack the exposure, mentorship, and access to these opportunities. I knew I wanted to do something about it. Today, exactly one year later, I am proud to share that, through the support of my nonprofit organization, @ReachApac, the first cohort of mentees has contributed to a published scientific paper. Over 20 more mentees remain to be in publications soon. This mentorship is entirely free. Not a single mentee pays a penny. The only investment required is their time, commitment, and willingness to learn. Looking back, this has been one of the most challenging yet fulfilling journeys of my career. It has taken patience, sacrifice, and consistency, but seeing young colleagues gain research experience, contribute to scientific knowledge, and position themselves for opportunities beyond their immediate environment makes every effort worthwhile. My dream is to help build a generation of Ugandan physicians who are not only consumers of scientific evidence but also contributors to the research that shapes the future of medicine #ClinicalResearch #Mentorship

Delighted to share that our work has been published with BMJ Open 🎉. I am particularly proud of this paper because it is my first publication as a Principal Investgator, mentor, first and corresponding author.
