Hometown: Homs, Syria
Undergraduate: University of Florida (Go Gators!)
Medical School: St. George’s University
Hobbies/Interests: Foodie activities, ping pong, racquetball, going to the beach, reading David Sedaris books, board games, geography trivia and pretending to want to go to the gym.
Why Stony Brook: I connected with the people I interviewed with much more than any other interview. Dr. Lane is one of the warmest people I had met and that was clear even from the 20-minute interview I had with her. I also wanted to be in a strong academic environment with an impressive fellowship match history and Stony Brook offered all of that. The area is more affordable than NYC (where I was based for my clinical rotations) and has fewer distractions but offers access to the city’s countless activities when I want it.
