Abdullah was born and raised in Baghdad, Iraq. His family relocated to Amman, Jordan, when he was in middle school. During his time in Jordan, Abdullah participated in multiple voluntary work initiatives including providing regular health check-ups to underprivileged senior homes and helping organize events for children in refugee camps. He attended medical school at the University of Jordan. After obtaining his medical degree, Abdullah immigrated to the U.S., completed his residency training at Michigan State University (Go Spartans!), and now is serving as Chief Medical Resident. Abdullah plans to pursue an academic career in cardiovascular medicine and is very excited to start his cardiology fellowship at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, in July 2022. Abdullah and his significant other, Ateka, share their love for food and are in continuous search of the best fried chicken. Abdullah enjoys watching Manchester United’s games (“stressfully watch” is more accurate given the recent years) and playing in a local soccer league as a part of the MSU Medicine team.
