I want to learn from accomplished colleagues and mentors and develop the skillset I need to improve healthcare delivery and build healthcare infrastructure for underserved and vulnerable communities at home and abroad.

Hisham Al Kukhun hails from Amman, Jordan. He earned his degree in medicine from Jordan University of Science and Technology. As a medical student, he co-established a free mobile clinic sponsored by Tzu-Chi Foundation which provided care and food assistance to under-served populations in rural Jordan. Following graduation, Hisham volunteered with a number of organizations delivering care to refugees in Jordan, and worked as a general practitioner for International Medical Corps, where he led the Mobile Medical Unit project. In this role, Hisham delivered care to urban refugees and populations of hard-to-reach villages in Jordan, and contributed to population health research studying the impact of war on dialysis dependent refugees. While in medical school, he spent a year at Leiden University in the Netherlands as an Erasmus research scholar, and a semester at Vanderbilt University as a visiting medical student. He completed a global health summer program at the University of Toronto, and served as a World Health Organization delegate at the Harvard National Model United Nations. In his free time, Hisham enjoys traveling, biking, and spending time outdoors.
