Growing up in the sunny suburbs of Northeast Florida, Ahmed Hamed coupled enthusiasm for the outdoors with an aptitude for science, teamwork, and benefiting the lives of his fellow community members and beyond. He attended college at University of Florida and found his calling in medicine, which took him to the University of Virginia School of Medicine. There, the promise of team camaraderie, relentless patient advocacy, and impactful contributions to people's health and the literature nurtured his passion for general surgery and surgical oncology. Ahmed is currently a general surgery resident within the Department of Surgery at University of Illinois-Chicago. He completed his first two clinical years of residency, and is currently finishing a post-doctoral translational research fellowship in peritoneal malignancies at the University of Pittsburgh as he prepares to resume his clinical training. His academic goals include research in high-dimensional genomic and operative information to improve outcomes of surgical oncological patients. He aims to pursue a complex general surgical oncology fellowship and a career as a surgeon-scientist.
