After achieving his degree at Avalon University School of Medicine, Dr. Abubakr Alfaouri has recently acquired his Internal Medicine Residency at Cleveland Clinic Fairview Hospital. He continues to dedicate his life to medicine and uses his strengths to impact the lives of others in a positive and life-changing way.
Like an Eagle, Dr. Alfaouri soars above and beyond. He uses the knowledge he gained during his time at Avalon, for example the program Organ Wise, a program where students would present an organ system in the viewpoints of different disciplines, and implements these methods to aid those in his community. Dr. Alfaouri took part in the Free Health Fairs that the University offered to the Island’s residents, and these experiences inspired him to offer these services to the residents of his community. During the COVID-19 Pandemic, he volunteered his time to help test 15,000 residents of Passaic County, New Jersey.
Dr. Bikram Sharma, 2016 AUSOM graduate, has continued to flourish after his time here at Avalon University. In a recent conversation, he states he misses exploring the beautiful beaches of Curaçao, and the Physical Diagnosis Course with Dr. Arja, however he is very grateful that he obtained his Residency at Rosalind Franklin University. He strives, and succeeds, to follow in his father’s footsteps by being intelligent, sophisticated, and being dedicated to helping others.
His passion towards helping his patients in Psychiatry is leading him to run 2 inpatient rehabilitation centers and an intensive outpatient program to help serve those struggling with addiction. He puts his patients’ needs first by going above and beyond for them, taking the lead, and advocating for their appropriate care. He does for his patients what he would do for his family. Dr. Sharma feels that he resembles a Lion, in that way, because he would do anything to protect his pack, his family.
