Amal A. Saadallah, studied medicine in the form of bachelor, master, and doctorate degrees and has a professional experience in laboratory medicine, scientific editing, teaching and research. She had undertaken her first PhD research at the University of Pennsylvania, USA. With this level of learning she was still unable to help her father who due to a major car accident was unknowingly transfused with blood that had hepatitis, gradually became weaker and developed liver failure necessitating a transplant. Ground facts and preventable deaths like that have proven to her that healthcare deficiencies and inequities will only vanish if physicians couple what they learn in core specialties with studies in fields of health administration and humanities. This led her to another PhD; this time in health administration and an expansion in studies in quality and safety. o Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery (MD) , College of Medicine, Ain Shams University, Egypt, 1985 o Master Degree Clinical Pathology, College of Medicine, Ain Shams University, Egypt, 1989 o Doctorate Degree in Clinical Pathology (PhD), College of Medicine Ain Shams & University of Pennsylvania, Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine (Research) (Egyptian Government Mission Program), 1995 Doctor of Health Administration (DHA) (PhD), School of Advanced Studies (SAS), University of Phoenix, USA, 2010 o Certified Professional in Healthcare Quality (CPHQ) , Healthcare Quality Certification Commission, USA, 2011 to date. o Baldrige Examiner.
