Mawada Tarhuni

I am a first-generation immigrant from Libya who studied medicine in Egypt and am now beginning a family medicine residency at the University of Saskatchewan.

Post-pandemic, I coordinated "Driving Rural Access to Vaccines," a grant project funded by the Public Health Agency of Canada, which aimed to increase vaccine uptake in rural Alberta. This experience developed my passion for human-centered, evidence-based patient education. Later, as the research coordinator for the College of Family Physicians of Canada's Outcomes of Training project at the University of Alberta, I became interested in enhancing medical education for both learners and educators.

Through the TRP, I hope to acquire tools to translate and implement scientific evidence to improve medical education and patient care.
