2025
| Year: | 2025 |
| Hometown: | Amman, Jordan |
| Medical School: | Hashemite University Faculty of Medicine Jordan |
| Residency: | Allegheny Health Network |
| Professional Goals: | Throughout medical school, I sought opportunities to provide support for the disadvantaged population in Jordan through humanitarian aid, as well as destigmatizing and raising awareness about misunderstood conditions through a nonprofit organization I co-founded. A desire to improve the standards of care in my country fueled my decision to pursue training in the US. I started my journey as a research fellow at the University of Pittsburgh where I focused on outcomes research and began to appreciate further the different forms of healthcare disparities that exist within my newfound community. |
| Personal Interests: | I enjoy going on long road trips with my husband and friends, organizing events and gatherings for colleagues and friends, cross-stitching. As well as cooking and baking, especially Mediterranean and Arabic food. |
2026
| Year: | 2026 |
| Hometown: | Red Bank, New Jersey |
| Undergraduate School: | Villanova University |
| Medical School: | St. George's University School of Medicine Grenada |
| Residency: | Overlook Medical Center |
| Professional Goals: | Throughout my residency, I have found great joy in outpatient medicine and the opportunity to develop lasting relationships with my patients. As mentioned, before medicine I pursued documentary filmmaking, and I have since found that the observational and communication skills honed during that time have been an asset in developing my own patient relationships as well as influencing my desire for patient continuity. I have come to appreciate the value of building trust and open communication with patients, as it enhances their overall experience and facilitates shared decision-making. |
