Verification notes

An official 2024 AAU thesis identifies its author as a cardiothoracic surgery fellow and a candidate for the university's subspecialty certificate, confirming delivered training. Ethiopia's Ministry of Health states that its matching system handles more than 20 fellowship specialties, but neither source publishes a current AAU place, duration or deadline.
