Dr. A. Fahmy:
After completing his residency at St. Joseph Hospital in Chicago in 1999, Dr. Fahmy worked in the field of Palliative medicine were he learned the importance of aggressively treating patients pain and suffering and became a strong believer
that every patient has the right to be pain free. Very early on in his career he became very interested in drug dependence and
addiction and their tremendous impact on patients and their families. He pioneered the use of Buprenorphine for treatment of opiate
dependence in Chicago and developed multiple treatment protocols to suit various patients populations; subsequently, he became a
mentor to physicians in Chicago and beyond who are interested in practicing in the field of Addiction Medicine. Dr. Fahmy has been
interviewed on TV about his treatment philosophy and has given numerous lectures and presentations about this disease. For 2 years in
a row Dr. Fahmy has been invited by government agencies (Substance Abuse and Mental Health administration and the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment) to speak about
the programs that he developed in the field of addiction medicine and on how to increase access to treatment in community health centers. >
