Geriatric Psychiatry Fellows
Meet the Fellows
Heba Gad, MD 2012-2013
Dr. Gad grew up between Kuwait and Egypt. She attended medical school at Ain Sham University in Cairo, Egypt, and completed general psychiatry residency at U-M. Dr. Gad is interested in mood and anxiety disorders, and has a special interest in sexual health. She plans to integrate her experience, through the sexual health program at the School of Social Work, with working with the geriatric population. Dr. Gad values and enjoys interacting with seniors. Also, she admires the overlap between medical and psychiatric issues in the geriatric psychiatry field, which will keep her better connected to the medical science.
