I earned my medical degree from Damascus University School of Medicine. I completed my residency in Internal Medicine at Creighton University Medical Center in Omaha, Nebraska, Gastroenterology and Hepatology fellowship at The University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, KS. Besides my gastroenterology fellowship, I am a fellowship-trained inflammatory bowel disease specialist as I completed an advanced Inflammatory Bowel Disease fellowship at Northwestern University, Chicago.
I joined the University of Kansas as an IBD specialist in 2020 and currently I'm an assistant professor of medicine in the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology.

My current practice is focused on Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) with a focus on studying newer therapies in the treatment of inflammatory bowel diseases including biological and small molecule agents. I also have a special interest in durg-induced gastrointestinal toxicity and I have published exhaustive review articles on drug-induced colitis and enteritis, both currently used as reference articles in the field.

I am currently a member of the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG), American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) and Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA). I am also serving as a medical reviewer on several journals with high impact factor in the field of gastroenterology.
