Today, Mohamad plays a vital role in the healthcare of adult patients with various medical and surgical conditions and is involved in nursing assessment, diagnosis, planning, intervention, evaluation, and coordination of care. He also works with patients needing non-intensive telemetry, a specialty he is certified in.

“LAU supporters are giving students the opportunity to study and to achieve their goals. They are dramatically helping improve the community by allowing for a new knowledgeable generation.”
