Dara Khatib, MD, MPH

My career in emergency medicine is driven by a passion for patient care and a deep commitment to public health. While in medical school, I encountered patients from all walks of life, who inspired me to view medicine as more than just a career. These experiences inspired me to pursue a specialty that aligns closely with public health, leading me to emergency medicine.

My time at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health solidified my commitment to this specialty, teaching me the importance of addressing health disparities and advocating for systemic changes.

As the associate service chief of the NYU Langone Health Cobble Hill Emergency Department, I am privileged to help lead a dedicated team of professionals. This role allows me to practice emergency medicine and contribute to the growth of our department. I am committed to fostering a culture of excellence, innovation, and compassionate care. My experience in public health and my passion for patient advocacy continue to inform my approach to leadership as I strive to create an environment where both patients and staff feel supported and valued.
