Twenty years ago, Dr. Ahmad Naser arrived as a refugee with nothing but the clothes on his back and his medical training. Today, he leads the emergency department at one of the country's largest hospitals.
"This country gave me a chance," he said. "Every life I save is my way of giving back."
His journey from refugee to department head has inspired a mentorship program that helps other refugee healthcare professionals navigate the licensing process and rebuild their careers.
