Born and raised in Jordan, I earned my medical degree from the Jordan University of Science and Technology. After two-year research fellowship in Rochester, Minnesota, I completed my internship in general surgery in Philadelphia. I am delighted to join the George Washington General Surgery Residency program as it offers unique training and academic support. Washington DC is a diverse city with a rich history and beautiful nature. My main interests are vascular, cardiothoracic surgery, and surgical education.
