Josyann Abisaab studied at the American University of Beirut, from where she graduated with a BS (Distinction) in 1984. Recent news from the university is that Dr. Fuad N. Ziyadeh (chair of the Department of Internal Medicine) was appointed a member of the International Foundations of Medicine (IFOM) Oversight Committee. For the university this appointment means that it is now part of “an international assessment of medical students.” For Ziyadeh, this is quite an honor since he is the only individual on this committee selected from outside North America and Europe. And for the university it’s great, as, according to AUB Faculty of Medicine’s Dean, Dr. Mohamed H. Sayegh, Raja N. Khuri, it “makes AUB a key player in international medical education.”
