I studied at the Faculty of Applied Medical Sciences, Prosthetics and Orthotics Department, New Cairo Technological University, Egypt and I graduated in July 2026.
I am currently a fresh graduate seeking an employment or training opportunity in the field of Prosthetics and Orthotics, where I can further develop my clinical and technical skills and gain practical experience.
What is your speciality or O&P passion?
My main interests lie in Orthotics and Lower Limb Prosthetics. I am particularly passionate about designing and developing functional devices that improve mobility, enhance independence, and improve patients’ quality of life.
What do you like most about practicing O&P?
I genuinely love the hands-on nature of Prosthetics and Orthotics. What makes this field truly special to me is the ability to help people regain their mobility and independence. I feel immense happiness when I see patients return to their daily activities and live more fulfilling lives. Following their progress and witnessing their improvement is one of the most rewarding parts of this profession.
What frustrates you about O&P?
One of the biggest challenges I see in Prosthetics and Orthotics is the high cost of devices, which makes them inaccessible to many patients who need them. I am also concerned about the lack of awareness among some patients about the importance of using prosthetic and orthotic devices and following proper rehabilitation programs.
What is your greatest patient story in O&P?
One of my most memorable experiences was fitting a below-knee prosthesis for a patient who had been using prosthetic limbs for many years. I independently completed the fitting process, and he found the prosthesis comfortable and well-fitted. His satisfaction meant a lot to me and gave me great confidence in my practical skills.
How do you build rapport with patients in your care?
I believe in treating every patient according to their individual needs. I listen carefully, show patience and empathy, and make sure they feel comfortable and involved throughout the process. For first-time users, who may have fears or concerns, I try to reassure them, explain each step, and build their confidence. I also value follow-up and monitoring their progress.
Is there anything else you’d like people in the O&P community to know about you?
I believe that learning in Prosthetics and Orthotics is a continuous journey. As a young professional, I aspire to continuously develop my clinical and technical skills, contribute to innovation, and explore new ways to design functional and comfortable devices. My ultimate goal is to make a meaningful difference in patients’ lives.
