Tark A. Abou-Elmagd, MD MSc, is a second year internal medicine resident at Capefear Valley medical center. He graduated from Ain shams university faculty of medicine in 2019. He then did residency at Ain Shams University hospitals in intensive care, anesthesia, emergency medicine and finished his training prior to moving to start his residency at cape fear valley hospitals. He served rural areas and volunteered to be a part of medical caravans to give back to his community.
He is someone who believes that medicine is not just a job but a mission and a responsibility not just towards his patients but to his collaeagues and younger generations as well. He also believes that learning is a never ending process, given the continous medical advances and changes in practice guidelines, so teaching and learning from everyone is a must, as we never know what experinces and what type of exposure each one of us had, as Einstein had said "Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it". This would definitely at the end of the day would help with better care for the patient.
He first started his training during the COVID pandemic, which a big turning point in his thoughts and passion. He developed a passion for critical care medicine and pulmonology, due to their vital role. His mentors along his training had deepened this passion with the way they had advocated for their patients along each step of there care, turning every stone to help advance patient's care not just in the community that they arise from but by teaching others. He hopes to one day he would be able to do the same for others.
