ASCP recently awarded Aisha Mohamed, MD, the ASCP Trainee Global Health Fellowship. Dr. Mohamed is a pathology resident (PGY-2) in the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology at the University of Minnesota Medical School.

Through this global health fellowship opportunity, Dr. Mohamed will work closely to support the implementation of a prostate cancer screening and awareness program, led by Dr. Alex Mremi, MD at Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre (KCMC) in Moshi, Tanzania. This fellowship is in service of the Coalition for Implementation Research in Global Oncology (CIRGO) program, which funded the initial implementation research project in prostate cancer conducted by Dr. Mremi.

The fellowship will be conducted between January and June 2025 and includes both in-country support, funded through the fellowship stipend, and virtual support for program implementation. In addition to supporting the pathology aims of the research project, Dr. Mohamed, as an ASCP resident member, will work with Dr. Mremi to support and collaborate with KCMC’s pathology training programs and participate in review of interesting clinical cases and virtual tumor boards via KCMC’s telepathology program, supported by ASCP.

We look forward to following this fellowship as it strengthens the continued partnership and collaboration between ASCP and the pathology training and services offered by Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre, Kilimanjaro Clinical Research Institute, and Kilimanjaro Christian Medical University.
