After spending his formative years in Bedford, Nova Scotia, in 2004 Dr. Abou-Ismail was accepted into the pre-med program at the newly formed Weill Cornell Medical College in Doha, Qatar.

He was Valedictorian of Weill Cornell’s third graduating class.

Following his six years in Qatar, in 2010 Dr. Abou-Ismail relocated to Nashville, Tennessee where he completed both his Internship and Residency in Internal Medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. In 2014 he then selected Nephrology as his specialty and was accepted as a Fellow in Vanderbilt’s Nephrology program. This was a high honor as Vanderbilt is consistently ranked as one of the top programs for Nephrology in the United States.

Following successful completion of his Fellowship in 2016, Dr. Abou-Ismail joined Renal Care Consultants, P.C. as a full-time physician. He is board certified in Internal Medicine and board eligible in Nephrology.
