I have a good fortune to work with Dr. Edgar Chedrawy . He is the head of Cardiac surgery division and my mentor. He is ready to share skills, knowledge and expertise he has with all the trainees and medical staff. He has willingness to do what it takes to make everyone successful in his career. He constantly demonstrates a positive attitude and acts as a positive role model and takes a personal interest in the mentoring relationship. Dr. Edgar Chedrawy exhibits enthusiasm in the cardiac surgery field and values ongoing learning and growth in the field. His values are inclusion, diversity and equity.

During my two-year Masters of Health Administration at Dalhousie University, Dr. Edgar Chedrawy acted as a mentor to me in the School of Health Administration's ELEMENT Mentorship Program. I greatly valued every meeting with Dr. Chedrawy and every opportunity he provided me with. Considering his very busy schedule, he always made sure him and I had adequate time to discuss current and upcoming topics in healthcare, as well as any topics I was currently learning in my education. Dr. Chedrawy also made sure to introduce me to various other senior healthcare leaders and colleagues of his whenever I demonstrated an interest in their fields of work. This was quite beneficial to me as it not only enhanced my learning as a student, but also assisted me in networking with healthcare leaders throughout the province of Nova Scotia. During my one-on-one time with Dr. Chedrawy, he also mentored me in areas outside of school. We often had discussions about the job field and what I pictured for my own career path. Without hesitation, he explained to me his own career path and offered me insight on how to navigate the complex world of starting a career. He also openly answered any questions I asked, whether it be for a school assignment, my current job placement, or even if it was a casual question of curiosity. While he kept things professional, Dr. Chedrawy always managed to make our meetings engaging, interesting and entertaining. My time spent with Dr. Chedrawy was very rewarding and I consider myself very lucky to have had him as a mentor for two years.

Eddy has served as a Cohort Leader for our (AAPL) Certified Physician Executive (CPE) program for the last 3 years and as a Mentor for our Mentorship Program. He has coached over 30 physician leaders to successfully complete the CPE Capstone with flawless evaluation results. He is an exceptional leader, coach, mentor, and an invaluable asset to our physician leadership programs and services.

Dr. Eddy is an inspirational leader and excellent physician who has helped me transition from HR director into taking on a challenging C level position in a high end, international hospital. He has mentored me and supported me throughout the changes and challenges I have faced and I am very grateful for his continuous guidance, regardless of his busy schedule. His professionalism and insightful knowledge has taught me a great deal, including many tips that I can use throughout my professional career. I could not have made this transition without his ambitious support and I am writing this recognition for him as a token of my appreciation and gratitude. Thank you Dr. Eddy!

Dr Chedrawy was an instrumental advisor and mentor for me at the beginning of my career from medical school through to the transition from clinical medicine to an executive medicine career in the biomedical industry. He advised me to pursue a Masters in Public Health early on in order to maximize my opportunities in the biomedical field. He’s also always been a great sounding board on career transition ideas I have had, giving me his honest opinion and providing realistic advice on how I can reach those goals. As a mentor he’s helped me navigate the complex field of medicine, figure out the best path for my education, motivation and personality as well as establish realistic long term goals.

I had the pleasure to be introduced to Dr. Chedrawy through UIC MHA’s speaker series course. Dr. Chedrawy gave such a wonderful presentation and introduced concepts in leadership that are often overlooked. With a focus on servant leadership, the dialogue was extremely motivational and beneficial as a future healthcare leader. Dr. Chedrawy’s experiences are unparalleled especially his mastery of balancing clinical and administrative aspects. With his helpful and passionate demeanor, Dr. Chedrawy truly is an invaluable source of knowledge and is a great mentor. He takes an honest interest in helping build future healthcare leaders, and for that reason he was an obvious speaker choice to recruit for the Public Health Leadership Program at UIC. He was by far one of the most engaging presentations, and students provided exceptionally positive feedback with a special mention of Dr. Chedrawy’s Q&A session. I have been following Dr. Chedrawy’s journey since my first encounter with him, and I highly recommend others to reach out and to do so as well! He has helped me reflect on how I can better serve as a leader and his feedback has helped steer my journey to better align with my goals!

Dr. Chedrawy is an accomplished surgeon and educator. I had the privilege of training with him during my residency in Chicago and am grateful for his guidance and mentorship. At the time, I questioned if I could be a cardiac surgeon - he patiently taught the techniques and helped me to build my fundamental surgical skills and patient care knowledge base. Throughout my career, he has been a constant mentor and advocate. He is an accomplished leader in the field and shared his expertise through work with the Society of Thoracic Surgeons and the American Association of Physician Leadership.

I had the exceptional good fortune to meet Dr. Chedrawy when he served as my Cohort Leader during the American Association for Physician Leadership Certified Physician Executive Capstone event. He displayed an uncanny ability to mentor and facilitate a transformative learning environment for the diverse group of physicians in the cohort. This group included both young and more seasoned physicians with different skill sets from a wide variety of backgrounds. Utilizing his deep clinical background as well as his outstanding leadership and people skills, Dr. Chedrawy nurtured the group in a way that maximized both individual and group potential. I highly recommend Dr. Chedrawy as a true authority and subject matter expert in the physician leadership space.
