Testimonials

"My clinical rotation at Ibn Sina Foundation was a truly meaningful part of my medical journey. I had the chance to apply my medical knowledge in real patient care settings, strengthen my clinical reasoning, and learn from experienced, compassionate professionals. It was an inspiring experience that reinforced my passion for medicine and commitment to patient-centered care."

Saiqa Karim

International Medical Graduate

"My rotation with the Ibn Sina Foundation was an incredibly valuable experience. I gained insight into how care can be delivered with a strong focus on community needs, cultural understanding, and accessibility. It challenged me to think differently in a diverse setting and helped me grow both clinically and personally. I’m thankful for the opportunity and would highly recommend it to others."

Nuzair W.

International Medical Graduate

"As an aspiring physician, gaining clinical experience in the U.S. was vital to my residency journey. Volunteering at the Ibn Sina Foundation in Houston was pivotal, offering hands-on exposure and deepening my understanding of compassionate, community-focused care.


What sets Ibn Sina apart is its strong support for future medical professionals. The observerships, especially helpful for international graduates, provide valuable understanding of the U.S. healthcare system and residency process.
