In his second year, Kateb volunteered for MSF and that first mission still resonates with him. I gather his father thought the mention of вЂњpassionвЂќ was absurd. Kateb admitted that he almost quit at the end of his first year because he didnвЂ™t feel any passion for his work. The impetus seems to stem from family tradition, though itвЂ™s clear his grandfatherвЂ™s military service was a strong motivation. Surprisingly, he didnвЂ™t have much interest in being a doctor. Specialist Gustave вЂњDocвЂќ KatebвЂ™s wealthy upbringing could easily have turned him into a narcissist, yet heвЂ™s one of the most accessible and thoughtful people IвЂ™ve encountered. He is a highly regarded medical officer for the commandement des forces spГ©ciales Terre. Recognizing the ongoing need for doctors, Kateb continues to volunteer with MSF. He has authored studies on biological agents and their effects on at-risk populations and damaged environments, and contributed reports to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). KatebвЂ™s main discipline is toxicology and ecotoxicology. Upon graduation, Kateb declined a prominent private medical practice in favor of a career with the French Defense Health Service. He has subsequently volunteered numerous times on emergency frontline aid missions around the world. In his second year of medical studies with the prestigious UniversitГ© Paris Descartes, Kateb answered the appeal for volunteers in MГ©decins Sans FrontiГЁres (MSF). He comes from a well-respected lineage in both the military and medicine. Of Algerian and French descent, Kateb grew up in an affluent family in ParisвЂ™ 16th arrondissement.
