Co-founder of the Educational Project: WHO simulation model in Sudan- 2014
WHOMS 14 was an informal education program simulating the World Health Organization regional committee meeting, among students and fresh graduates in the Sudan health field. This project brought together participants from diverse backgrounds, from health to IT and business. It served as an opportunity for students and junior professionals to develop important soft skills discuss key issues in global health and to start inter-professional relationships in order to develop a deeper understanding of health and more sustainable solutions to its problems. By assuming the role of a country’s ambassador to the WHO, a non-governmental organization representative, a pharmaceutical representative or a journalist, participants work with their peers to develop resolution papers that address the different global health theme chosen, a process during which they gain and use the knowledge and skills in an informal role play environment.

Member of the working group of research project: Attracting junior doctors to work in rural areas –A Discrete Choice Experiment – 2012
The objective of this study was to ascertain preferences of junior doctors for rural jobs and test these through a discrete choice experiment, which is is a tool to assess the stated preferences for goods, services, or programs as a function of their attributes. An important strength of DCEs is that, unlike studies of revealed preference (i.e. actual past choices) they can assess preference for aspects of programs that have not yet been implemented.
