Joseph Farajallah, MD
I grew up in Amman, Jordan, and I’m excited to begin my pediatric residency at MedStar Georgetown. DC has a special place in my heart, and I’m happy to call it home during this next chapter of my journey. Outside of medicine, I enjoy playing sports, playing video games, listening to music, and watching movies and shows. I’m always looking for new experiences, whether it’s discovering a new spot or trying a new restaurant. I’m excited to meet new people, learn from those around me, and make the most of my residency experience.

Medical School: University of Jordan
Fun Fact: I’m a lifelong gamer, and I have a questionable ability to say, “just one more game” and actually mean it.
Favorite Place in DC: Georgetown Waterfront and The Wharf
Favorite Restaurant in DC: Still exploring! Always open to recommendations.
Favorite Movie: The Dark Knight (one of many favorites!)
Hobbies: Playing sports, video games, listening to music, and watching movies, shows, and anime.
Future Plans/Subspecialty Interest: Currently interested in Gastroenterology or Cardiology, while keeping an open mind and seeing where residency takes me!
