Egyptian Association For International Medical Studies (EAIMS)

I spent 4 weeks training in the pediatric hospital. The doctors at my department were very nice & they explained to me the diseases of the children. I saw many cases but I was the whole time in one department. It would be good to make a plan in the beginning of the training to have a look in different departments.

Board, Lodging and Outings; Pros, Cons & Advices:

The hostel was close to the hospital. The condition of the room was okay but we had to ask the manager to put the air condition on every time we entered the room.

EAIMS Hosting Team; Pros, Cons & Advices:

EAIMS Team was great. They cared for us and we saw them every week. EAIMS trip to Pyramids was very impressive for me and EAIMS Yacht party was wonderful. It would be great to organize more for the incoming students.

Overall Evaluation:

I enjoyed my time in Cairo very much. I got to know many new things. It was great time and I want to say "Thank you" to EAIMS.

Medical Training; Pros, Cons & Advices:

Emergency Department March & April 2009: The doctors and students working with us in the ER were really nice. You can see a lot of traumatized patients, but be aware of the fact that there is a great number of them dying inside the ER. A problem for me was the communication with the patient, but I concentrated on the unconscious ones ;) There is a great variety of diseases to see.

Board, Lodging and Outings; Pros, Cons & Advices:

The Hostel we stayed in was ok. It is really close to the hospital, right across the street. Just be aware of the fact that you will eat pretty much the same everyday.

EAIMS Hosting Team; Pros, Cons & Advices:

I loved the EAIMS Team. We had a great time and you can always reach them and they will help you no matter what. I really felt taken care of, and we did some trips together and went out several times. I really had a great time!!!!Thank you for that!!!

Overall Evaluation:

I can only recommend Cairo and the hospital!!! You always have somebody who helps you. I had a great time with the people and getting to know the country. The hospital I can recommend too, not only because it was totally different from what I'm used to in Germany, but because you get to know different ways of treating and the mentality of the people that plays a big part in their medical treatment.

Medical Training; Pros, Cons & Advices:

My training was in Pediatric Department from 1 November till 13 December 2008. More interesting than I had previously imagined. More patients than in Nigeria, this literally means more to learn of course. Also a good team of residents and consultants who in spite of the heavy influx of patients are ever willing to attend to my questions. Really a rewarding experience both academically and socially. My kudos to the doctors for being that receptive and accommodating.

Board, Lodging and Outings; Pros, Cons & Advices:

With adequate information on the website for intending EAIMS students, I had no problem at all with accommodation. I made a thorough arrangement for it and it was simply wonderful. Outings were pretty nice too. Thanks to adequate info from EAIMS.

EAIMS Hosting Team; Pros, Cons & Advices:

They did their best within their limits to make my stay comfortable and worth the while it lasted. So my praises also go to them.

Overall Evaluation:

EAIMS is a great initiative; it should be sustained for the benefit of other medical students worldwide. But EAIMS management should organize a more formal forum for interaction between EAIMS students in Egypt at any given time. KUDOS TO EAIMS.

Medical Training; Pros, Cons & Advices:

My training was in Surgical Emergencies Department, Medical Faculty, Cairo University, Egypt during September 2007. Students were allowed to do a lot of things on their own like stitching. It was a little bit difficult to get in touch with teaching supervisors as they are always busy. So one supervisor should be responsible for the students in the ER because they change every week.

Yacht on Nile was very nice and trip to the pyramids as well.

My training was in Tropical Medicine Department, Medical Faculty, Cairo University, Egypt during September 2007. Lectures by supervising doctors were good. I Saw how the medical system work in another country like Egypt. Sometimes we have nothing to do or to see when doctors get so busy. It would be better if there was one doctor who is especially there for the students.

Board, Lodging and Outings; Pros, Cons & Advices:

Manial hostel is very nearby the hospital. The hostel is also near to many good supermarkets and restaurants. The bedrooms are OK but bathrooms are sometimes not working well.

EAIMS Hosting Team; Pros, Cons & Advices:

The weekly meetings with EAIMS Team were great. EAIMS Team was very helpful and easy to reach.

Medical Training; Pros, Cons & Advices:

My training was in Surgical Emergencies Department, Medical Faculty, Cairo University, Egypt during November 2007. I had a lot of doctors who were willing to teach. There were so many patients with a variety of cases so it was not difficult to learn. I got the chance to try out some procedures. The patients spoke Arabic so I had to depend on the doctor; second hand explanations to understand. Training periods could be made to fall into the same periods as other Egyptian students so as to enhance friendships.

Board, Lodging and Outings; Pros, Cons & Advices:

I arranged my own lodging at a nearby hotel in the Down Town. Lodging was good. It was easily accessible to the hospital & faculty. Also I enjoyed outings with other incoming students from Austria.

EAIMS Hosting Team; Pros, Cons & Advices:

The EAIMS team was friendly. I had someone I could always call if I had any problems. Incomings should be given a map of the tourist attractions and a list of average costs of taxis and important daily items.

Overall Evaluation:

The training period was enjoyable. I saw lots of cases that were not common in my home country. It was a fine blend of academic work and tourist fun.

Medical Training; Pros, Cons & Advices:

My training was in Dental & Oral Surgery Department, Dental Faculty, Cairo University, Egypt during July 2007. Theatre staff, consultants and house officers were extremely helpful and devoted time to making observation of surgery information. There was general willingness from staff to maximize our experience. Language barriers with hands of treatment with patients could perhaps have been managed slightly better in certain areas although a larger effort was made by some parties. Perhaps more prior informative re schedules, equipment required and contact details would have been useful.

Board, Lodging and Outings; Pros, Cons & Advices:

I arranged my own lodging at friends' house in Nasr City. It was quite away from the hospital making it not easy to go and come back daily especially with frequent traffic jams in Cairo.

EAIMS Hosting Team; Pros, Cons & Advices:

The welcome meeting was very useful. EAIMS Team students were very helpful and friendly. Perhaps more frequent meetings around the faculty with representatives from both dental & medical fields would be great.

Overall Evaluation:

A very worthy experience.

Medical Training; Pros, Cons & Advices:

I spent a month inObstetrics & Gynecology Department, Medical Faculty, Cairo University, Egypt. Doctors were really lovely and approachable, although they were understandably stressed after 12 hrs in Labor ward. I enjoyed myself thoroughly but I wished that I were more able to participate more, although I understand it was difficult due to language barrier. Tip: while training at the hospital, try and learn Arabic in the numerous Arabic school for foreigners. Even you speak one or two words, the patients appreciate the effort you're putting in and the Dr-patient relationship is improved. Advice: on the first day: find the medical supply shops (over the bridge) and buy some scrubs and also some clogs AND a box of gloves if you want to do PV examination. Make the most of the gynecological and obstetric out patient clinics to practice your examination skills. There is some competition with the other medical students and the local 1st yr Drs, but don't let that put you off. TIP: freeze a bottle of water and take it with you to the hospital. You will appreciate it as the day gets hotter and you're feeling faint while you are acclimatizing to Egyptian summer.

Board, Lodging and Outings; Pros, Cons & Advices:

I didn't stay in the hostel, but in a rented flat. The organized outing to Islamic, Coptic Cairo was great fun! managed to see the medical students organizers of EAIMS and we have become fast friends. It was great to see these guys as we then exchanges medical student views and also had a wider and deeper understanding of Egyptian culture. IMPORTANT: bring loads of passport photos.

EAIMS Hosting Team; Pros, Cons & Advices:

Well organized, and friendly. One comment: we got lost on our 1st day to the hospital: so give clear instructions for the taxi-driver as we were sent to the new hospital.

Overall Evaluation:

Excellent, have already recommended it to my friend, so take good care of her.

Medical Training; Pros, Cons & Advices:
My training was in Family Medicine Department, Medical Faculty, Cairo University, Egypt during April 2004. Through my clerkship in family medicine; I have gained an understanding of the impact culture and religion has on healthcare, as well as health needs in this developing countries. For example in USA, underserved areas have health problems related to lack of education, medical resources and access to heath care. Fundamentally, these are problems for every indigent population. I was fascinated by the role of religion and culture played on the health education and delivery. I was fortunate to rotate through different specialties in Cairo University hospital. Among them are Dermatology, Neurosurgery, General Surgery, orthopedics, Anesthesia, Gynecology, Psychiatry and General Medicine. I found the observational and hands-on experience very rewarding as I was able to see cases of extreme proportion. I found the number of lecture to be a bit excessive, as many of the topics can be reviewed on my own time. I recommend that international students experience the amazing pathology in Cairo University hospital by observing as many cases as possible rather than spending too much time in lectures. I did enjoy the case presentations offered here, especially the idea of bringing live cases and patients to lectures. This allows students and residents to witness the pathology visually without having to refer to the book. The condition of the hospital was better than I expected. The patients were seen without any order. They all expected care simultaneously without waiting to their turn. I feel this is a minor problem, but it can make their delivery more pleasant. I found the attitudes of some physicians to be a bit condescending towards the patients. My understanding is that the patients are considered to be “ignorant”. I find this unacceptable because they are human beings and their lack of education should not limit their health care. I hope that in the future there is a change towards this attitude.
Board, Lodging and Outings; Pros, Cons & Advices:
The living accommodations are excellent. Our apartment was well kept and the neighborhood is very safe. It was also at a good proximity from any means of transportation making outings very easy.
EAIMS Hosting Team; Pros, Cons & Advices:
EAIMS organization has done an amazing job in making our stay a comfortable and enjoyable one. EAIMS team members have helped us in everyway. The website of EAIMS: www.eaims.net is very helpful explaining the goals of the program. The idea of an application online is great because it allows faster acceptance notice. However email with questions should be answered at a faster pace.
Overall Evaluation:
Finally, my experience with the Egyptian Association for International Medical Studies (EAIMS) is unforgettable. I would like to thank EAIMS and its team members for their kindness and support. I am eternally grateful for the experience.
