Dr. Noufi also focuses on addressing their psychiatric symptoms, pain management, and overall well-being.
Dr. Noufi's journey in medicine began with his completion of a general psychiatry residency at the American University of Beirut Medical Center.

Apart from his clinical commitments, Dr. Noufi is passionate about research and academic pursuits. His primary interests revolve around the intersection of psychiatry and palliative care, with a particular focus on existential psychotherapies and their role in the context of advanced illnesses. Additionally, he actively engages in clinical education, mentoring medical students and residents, and emphasizing the importance of finding meaning and identity in their careers as physicians.
Dr. Noufi is a trilingual professional, fluent in English, French, and Arabic. His diverse language skills allow him to effectively communicate with patients from various cultural backgrounds, ensuring comprehensive and patient-centered care. Furthermore, he has a keen interest in the field of bioethics and the philosophy of medicine, currently serving as the chief of the ethics committee at MedStar Harbor Hospital.
