Hello! I’m Dr. Ali Farzad.
I figured since you took the time to look me up, then I might as well make it easy for you to find accurate information and a reliable way to get a hold of me.
I use this website to post general information about me, and plan to eventually link to my educational and teaching content. It is a work in process…so stay tuned.
You can contact me anytime directly for teaching or consulting inquires here.
Ali Farzad MD, FAAEM, FACEP
I’m a first generation college student who always dreamed of becoming a doctor. I grew up in Los Angeles, California, but my studies and training have taken me across world.
I have dedicated my entire adult life to learning how to take care of sick patients so that I can hopefully make a difference when it counts.
I think working in the Emergency Department is a privilege & I am incredibly grateful to have the opportunity to do what I absolutely love.
I truly believe I have the best job it the world!
Residency
I completed emergency medicine residency at an incredible academic program at the University of Maryland & Shock Trauma in Baltimore, MD.
Fellowship
I also completed a fellowship in Cardiovascular Emergencies at the University of Maryland. I used this extra training to focus on gaining expertise in bedside echocardiography, emergency electrocardiography, teaching, and research.
Attending
I’m currently a practicing board certified emergency physician at a level 1 trauma center in Dallas, TX. I have administrative duties as the medical director of our observation unit, and also as an assistant ED medical director. I also love to teach and serve as a clinical assistant professor for Texas A&M College of Medicine.
I love clinical emergency medicine and I am a self professed ECG nerd.
I help as an editor at ECGWeekly.com and serve as a section editor for the cardiovascular section of the online EM textbook Corependium.
