Dr. Sarah Khayat

My medical career began with my acceptance into the renowned Guaranteed Entrance to Medical School (GEMS) program offered by the University of Louisville. After finishing my bachelors degree, I then went on to obtain my medical degree from the same institution and was honored to become a member of the esteemed Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society. It was during my studies that I developed a deep fascination with head and neck anatomy, with a specific focus on Otolaryngology. Consequently, I decided to apply for a residency in Otolaryngology and was accepted at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Working closely with esteemed faculty members specializing in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery at UIC, including the renowned Dr. Dean Toriumi, I gained extensive experience in the operating room and have been actively involved in diverse research projects, resulting in the publication of multiple research papers. After my time at UIC, I sought additional training in Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. I had the privilege of being mentored by Dr. P. Daniel Ward, an esteemed Castle Connolly Top Doctor, in Salt Lake City, Utah. During this phase of my training, I gained hands-on experience by performing a wide range of surgical and nonsurgical procedures within the field of Facial Plastic Surgery. Throughout my career, I have delivered numerous oral presentations at renowned national conferences focused on Otolaryngology. Additionally, my research findings have been published in ENT journals. I am also a member of the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (AAFPRS), the American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery (AAOHNS), the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society (AOA), and the Triological Society.
