Hi, I'm Oussama Awad!
Paramedical Acting Senior Vocational and Technical Instructor at UNRWA’s Siblin Vocational Training Centre
As a Boy Scout who vowed to aid people at any time, I saw the medical field as the best opportunity to achieve my goals and elevate the medical status of the community. As I finished my bachelor’s degree in medical laboratory sciences, I started giving my best whether as a Medical Laboratory Technician or a Blood Bank technician, aiding people in need and doing my part in a life-saving process. This couldn’t be possible without the right time management and organisation skills, teamwork, problem-solving, and critical thinking that I have acquired as a boy scout, developed through academic life, sharpened and applied in the laboratory.
