Emad Aljahdli - Former Resident at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center

Emad Aljahdli completed his residency in Advanced Endoscopy at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in June 2015. He now practices in the Boston area near the hospital and contributes to ongoing research into improving endoscopy practices to better identify signs of colon cancer in patients. In addition to completing intensive training in Gastroenterology and Advanced Endoscopy, Dr. Aljahdli also completed his Internal Medicine and Transplant Hepatology residencies at the Lahey Hospital and Medical Center. He hopes to continue to practice and contribute to studies that could save patients’ lives now and in the future.

Emad Aljahdli learned much from his residency at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, one of the best academic hospitals in the world, in Boston. Many of the world’s best doctors attend residencies there because of the institution’s age-old dedication to excellence in medical research, clinical care, and education. Emad Aljahdli trained alongside many doctors going through the Harvard Medical School, which uses Beth Israel as a teaching hospital. The tradition of excellence for all teaching doctors, students, and residents goes back centuries. The institution’s greatest recent accomplishment was its use of electronic medical records, meeting a key provision of sweeping government regulations of the medical industry throughout the United States.

Emad Aljahdli is now a trained Gastroenterologist with strong backgrounds in Endoscopy thanks to his time at Beth Israel. Other than learning how to treat and diagnose patients on an individual basis, he learned the tradition and commitment to excellence that being a doctor takes. What better place to learn those concepts than at Beth Israel?
