I then completed my residency in Anesthesiology at the American University of Beirut Medical Center (AUBMC) in 2020. Subsequently, I completed a fellowship in Pediatric Anesthesiology at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, in 2021, followed by a fellowship in Regional Anesthesiology and Acute Pain Medicine at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City, in 2022. I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anesthesiology at UMMC, where I work full-time as a pediatric anesthesiologist.
