Dr. Ahmad ElMelhat successfully completed his PHD degree  in physical therapy for musculoskeletal disorders and its surgeries from Cairo university (Egypt) in 2019.

His academic training and 11 years of experience working in academic teaching and research prepare me to be an effective researcher and instructor in physical therapy department. In addition, he had practiced physiotherapy for 13 years and dedicated to improving lives through this exciting field. During this time, he  taught a wide variety of physical therapy courses, mainly musculoskeletal management, sport injuries and manual therapy for under and post graduate students. These experiences have built  confidence and an interest in teaching and he look forward to the opportunity to not only teach existing courses, but also work to develop new ones.

He taught various undergraduate and post graduate classes, published two textbooks and several research papers in peerrefereed international academic journals.
