A native of Egypt, Dr. Abdel-Megid earned his medical degree from the Cairo University Medical School in 1995, and completed his residency in orthopedic surgery at the same educational venue in 2000. He then went on to serve as an orthopedic surgery fellow at the University of Rome for 2 years, before relocating to the United States, where he was a Visiting Fellow of orthopedic trauma surgery at the NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases in 2002, before completing a fellowship in orthopedic trauma surgery at the University of Texas at Houston in 2003, and an advanced surgical training in foot and ankle surgery at Saint Vincent’s Hospital in 2004.
