Nabil Abazaid, MD

As an emergency medicine physician at NYU Langone, I believe that every patient deserves not only immediate medical attention but also a holistic approach that considers their overall wellbeing. My passion for medical education and its role in improving patient outcomes led me to pursue The Emergency Medicine Simulation Fellowship offered by NYU Langone’s Ronald O. Perelman Department of Emergency Medicine.

I specialize in emergency medicine, focusing on acute care and the management of chronic conditions, often present in emergency settings. My training and experience have equipped me to handle a wide range of medical emergencies, ensuring that patients receive timely and effective care. With years of experience in the field, I have honed my skills in both clinical practice and medical education, emphasizing diversity, equity, and inclusion in curricular development.

My work in simulation medicine allows me to train the next generation of healthcare providers, ensuring they are well-prepared to deliver high-quality care. This commitment to education and patient engagement is a cornerstone of my practice at NYU Langone, where I collaborate with a team to provide coordinated and seamless care.

My journey into medicine began in West Palm Beach, Florida, inspired by my mother’s work as a nurse and the health disparities I observed in my community. I attended the University of Florida, where I volunteered with pediatric palliative care patients, deepening my understanding of the impact of disease on patients and their families. I then pursued my medical degree at the University of Virginia, where my passion for emergency medicine was ignited. My residency training at Emory University, where I served as chief resident, further solidified my dedication to this field. My educational path and personal experiences have shaped my approach to medicine, driving my commitment to individualized care and medical education.
