Sherine Talaat found her way to UND’s School of Medicine and Health Sciences from almost the other side of the globe. Talaat was born and raised in Alexandria, Egypt. Her parents both hold MD/PhD degrees and teach at the University of Alexandria. Her father is a retired head and neck surgeon, and her mother is a professor of family health. “They always encouraged me and my siblings to do our best and were a great role model and support for us,” said Talaat. She can remember, when she was younger, accompanying her father on some visits to his patients, and this may have sparked her interest in the medical field.
