Naoum Fares Marayati, a resident of Kernerville, North Carolina, is finishing his MD degree at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. He will train at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia in pediatrics, as part of their Global Health Track. He obtained his BA in psychology at Princeton, where he studied bilingual child development. Born in Aleppo, Syria, Fares’ family immigrated to the US when he was in the 10th grade, just as the war was beginning. He is interested in pediatric healthcare, global health, and refugee resettlement, particularly early interventions that shift the ways displaced children and families navigate new geographies. Fares wants to build on ways to provide holistic trauma-informed healthcare to displaced children, understanding the ways in which loss, guilt, survival, otherness, and pain interact and impact health needs, care-seeking behaviors, and access. Fares serves as Vice President of Student Council at Mount Sinai and as a Clinic Manager at the East Harlem Health Outreach Partnership, Mount Sinai’s student-run free clinic for East Harlem residents without health insurance. In this capacity, he was a Student Organizer for Mount Sinai’s COVID-19 Student Task Force where he led initiatives to support the Mount Sinai and East Harlem communities during the peak months of the COVID-19 pandemic in New York City, and the continuity of remote care and daily necessities for members of the community. He received a Neuroscience Research Foundation Grant presented by Dr. Joseph Maroon from the University of Pittsburgh, for the study of Hyperbaric Oxygen as a potential treatment for COVID-19 infection and recovery. As a Mitchell Scholar, Fares studied Global Health at Trinity College Dublin.
