Coming from Egypt and moving to Switzerland, where I currently work at the Basel University Hospital, meant that I had to learn German from scratch and work harder than most to build my medical career; essentially, I beat the odds, but that may not be so for other doctors who have the same aptitude as me, or even more.

MY-FELLOWSHIP was thus created in collaboration with the VSAO Basel (Association of Swiss Residents and Consultants) to provide all individuals in the medical field equal opportunity to access knowledge through fellowships and pivotal connections by linking up information from potential fellows, past fellows, institutions and sponsors, all of which had previously existed on separate planes without structure. Over time, with support from the global medical community, I envision that MY-FELLOWSHIP will grow to become more than just a platform connecting individuals to streamline fellowship application processes, and evolve into a centralized hub of medical knowledge for all with the help of technology.
