Born & raised in Waterloo, Ontario, Abdel has not only become a role model and advocate for Muslim Canadians, but for other Canadians who may be marginalized. "There are 35,000 Muslim people in London, but they are not very involved or connected to the medical community. Also, there are very few visible medical professionals of Muslim background. I want to be an advocate for them and others who may be marginalized, and I want to help my colleagues understand their unique health care needs."
Following graduation, Abdel will begin a five-year residency in Orthopedics at Western. He hopes to settle in a smaller Ontario community when his training is complete, and continue with his important advocacy work.
