Bassem Ghali, MD

Associate Professor

My professional interests are in inpatient general internal medicine, global health equity, health care delivery in resource-limited settings. I care about accompaniment of patients with frequent or prolonged encounters with the health care system, social medicine education, leveraging patient narratives to enhance healthcare and educate medical students. I also work on developing and improving tech tools for hospitalists and providing coaching to support trainees and faculty.
