This site was created as a continuously available guide for first year students in Ain Shams Faculty of Medicine. The aim of this site is to provide a useful resource for first year students to find their way in the new community and environment that they are going to stick to in the next 6 years of their lives (6 years, ha, you'll probably stay attached to your faculty for 12 years if you plan to carry out postgraduate studies, etc.)

Although this might be a humble beginning, we hope that over the next years, this site may grow up by the author's as well as the students' contributions and feedback. Please feel free to provide feedback as this will be very useful and will guide the emergence of this site.

Many thanks go to for providing web space for this site.
