Medical anthropology is highly relevant to the practice of health professions in the health sector. While the World Federation of Medical Education (WFME, 2020) includes the discipline in its recommendations, other fields like nursing and occupational therapy have done it without international regulations in parts of the world for a long time. Training teachers of the discipline for the field is still in development worldwide and needs more attention to offer qualified trainers to health schools. In the Arab-speaking world, medical anthropology is underrepresented. After awareness-building in the Arab countries, our first train-the-trainer project took place from August 2020 to December 2021, both virtually and onsite in Egypt. We report from the trainers' and the trainees' perspectives and offer insights into our training
