Being a native from Morocco is a pride i carry in my professional and personal life. The culture is that of giving, of hospitality, and love for people. There, I completed my medical education but a near-fatal car accident before graduation deeply influenced my approach to patient care. The fear, the wait, the anxiety, all plagued my recovery. But also, a deep gratitude and a sense of letting go and trusting in the oath my providers took.
Once in the US, I did my residency in NY, and fellowship in Boston before moving to California where I now practice my dream of helping people. Cliche, I know. But a very real and honest dream. My areas of expertise are COPD, asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, lung infections, ILD, and pulmonary embolism. I also specialize in integrating artificial intelligence Ai into medical practice, teaching, research and academic writing. I found more patient reach in using telehealth as well as bedside care across 19 states.
In drug development clinical research, I have operated clinical research sites in Southern California before taking that expertise globally in my current position to multiple cutting edge research trials.
As a teacher’s son, I find that educating comes naturally to me. I enjoy customizing the experience to the modern learner, and excel in teaching Ai to first time users as well as tech savvy clinical learners whether in medical education, academia, or research.
In my personal time, my husband and I enjoy taking our dogs Khloe, Enzo, and Rayyane to the park, exploring new restaurants, traveling, and learning new languages. I currently speak Arabic, French, Spanish, English, and recently Italian, and I am proud to integrate many cultural insights into my medical practice.
Thank you for reading and getting to know me. I look forward to connecting.
