The Academy is proud of the accomplishments of its alumni, faculty, and community. We are excited to introduce you to a new series that is dedicated to sharing updates from our valued community members.

Our first featured spotlight is that of IFAPP Academy alumna, Mawell Sameh, Foundation Medical Lead for Sanofi Egypt and Sudan.

Introducing: IFAPP Academy’s Community Spotlight Series

“My professional development was one of the key success factors in my career. I was honored to accomplish the Certification Program in Medicines Development form King’s College, London and IFAPP Academy , in 2020, where I learned a lot about the core cognitive competencies for an effective performance in medicines development and medical affairs from top experts in this arena.

In 2021, I got promoted to a more senior position, becoming a Foundation Medical Lead in Sanofi responsible for foundation portfolios in Egypt and Sudan, which is a new adventure in managing diversified portfolios in two countries and leading the digital transformation in the interactions with HCPs and patients through innovative projects, yet the learnings I have earned from IFAPP Academy in one year are worth ten years of learning! It has supported me a lot, not only while working on our projects, but also in my day-to-day practice.”

Thank you, Mawell, for sharing your achievement!
