Haider pioneered the work on racial disparities in trauma care and is considered one of the experts in inequities related to healthcare in the United States.[4] In 2017, he was awarded the Ellis Island Medal of Honor for his medical expertise and service to the "less fortunate".[5]

Early life and education

Haider was born in Zanesville, Ohio and is of Pakistani descent.[5] His parents moved to the U.S. in the 1960s. In the early 1980s, they returned to Pakistan as they wanted to "give back" to the country.[5] Haider completed his schooling at St. Patrick's High School in Karachi and then pursued medical school at the Aga Khan University, graduating as a doctor in 1998.[6][5] According to Haider, he was first drawn to the medical profession when he was six years old, inspired by the television series Trapper John, M.D..[5]

Medical practice

Adil Haider is a board-certified trauma and acute care surgeon. A year after obtaining his medical degree at Aga Khan, he moved to the U.S. to pursue postgraduate studies. He trained in public health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and received his M.P.H. in 2000.[5] He then went on to complete his surgical residency at New York Medical College in 2005 and later joined the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, where he competed his fellowships in surgical critical care (2006) and trauma and acute care surgery (2007).[7]

From 2007 to 2014, Haider worked at the Johns Hopkins Hospital as a trauma and critical care surgeon. Currently he is affiliated with the Brigham and Women’s Hospital.[8]
