Bio

Dr. Abir “Abby” Hussein's focus is in clinical infectious disease work on the general infectious disease inpatient consult services at both Harborview and UWMC- Montlake and the general infectious disease clinic at UWMC - Montlake.  She also works in the School of Medicine as a College faculty mentor and in this role provides the clinical foundation for an assigned group of medical students each year and acts as their primary coach through their four years of training. Dr. Hussein also works as part of the infection prevention team to help shape and shift policies and practices related to hospital acquired infections and other concerns. One of her other passions is working on measures to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion both in the hospital and in the academia in general.
