PROJECT IMG MEETUP IN EGYPT 🇪🇬🩵 What started as a simple idea during my vacation in Egypt turned into something truly special. I was just talking with a few friends here, and they said, “let’s meet.” And as always with Project IMG we don’t do small and open the doors to everyone! Within just 3 days, with the incredible help of local leaders like Mahmoud (part of @ProjectImg for the past 5 years) Dr Mirna @mirna_elkomi and Omar, who even picked me up at the airport and played a key role in organizing everything on the ground, we came together to put this meetup together here in Cairo. From planning the venue to coordinating logistics, this was a true team effort. And then… over 150 doctors showed up. Egyptian doctors, Sudanese doctors, all coming together with one purpose: to connect, support each other, and grow. One of the most special parts of the meetup was bringing the global community into the room. During the event, we connected live with colleagues across the United States through video calls. We had friends, residents, and mentors joining us virtually, sharing advice and encouragement in real time. Dr Fischer @SeeFisch and the chief resident of my program Dr Hasson who is Egyptian and scored 280 on step 1 USMLE also joined us on video call to advice and inspire, along with several residents from different specialties @DrMigueQC creating a bridge between Cairo and the U.S. medical system. It was honestly one of the most meaningful moments of my trip. Sitting together, listening to your stories, sharing ideas, giving guidance for your journeys in medicine and life… this is exactly why Project IMG exists. This is what fills me. This is what I love. Thank you all for welcoming me with such warmth, for opening your doors—and your hearts—to me. ♥️ I truly hope this is just the beginning of a strong Project IMG Egypt community, one that continues to grow, support each other, and create opportunities for the next generation. We are building something global. And we are just getting started. If you want to lead or help build a Project IMG chapter in your country, reach out or comment below. Let’s do this together 🌍 Hope to see you all again soon. Until next time, Cairo 🇪🇬🫶 CONNECT • LEARN • SUCCED #projectimg #theimgevent #egypt
