He has also been awarded: “Best Young Faculty in Middle East” during the AOSpine Davos Courses in 2008 and was named “Regional Educator of the Year” in 2016. In May 2018 Mohamed joined the AOSpine Ambassadors group.

 

With his award Mohamed plans to visit the Sen Sok IU Hospital in Cambodia in order to:

3. Promote research prizes offered by AOSpine
   
   
4. With his extensive experience in establishing research planes as well as writing and reviewing papers, he will help young local surgeons in preparing of research planes, as well as submission of their research papers to international journals
   
   
5. Encourage the local spine surgeons to attend the AOSpine activities in near-by countries
   
   
6. Share during clinical meetings the AOSpine principles in management of different spinal disorders
   
   
7. Share his experience in the field of spinal tumors with young spine surgeons
