To better serve the healthcare needs of critically ill and injured patients, USA Health Children’s & Women’s Hospital has expanded its critical care division with the addition of Mohammad Sabobeh, M.D.
A fellowship-trained pediatric critical care specialist, Sabobeh said he understands the clinical setting can often be challenging, which forces him to think critically and quickly. He ultimately wants the best for his patients.
“I am very passionate about understanding the physiology of the human body, and how multiple systems interact with each other during severe illnesses,” Sabobeh said. “Also, I was emotionally drawn to my patients and their families, as parents go through rough times during a child’s illness and stay in the pediatric intensive care unit. I feel if I am empowered with knowledge, skills, and good communication, I will be able to support them by treating their children.”
In addition to his medical career, Sabobeh has extensive volunteer experience. In 2016, he helped execute a healthcare campaign in Qatar to vaccinate children in response to a measles outbreak. He participated in another vaccination program in Michigan to raise awareness of the importance of COVID-19 vaccines.
He has also published articles and collaborated on several research projects related to critical care.
Originally from Jordan, Sabobeh earned his medical degree at the Hashemite University School of Medicine in Zarqa, Jordan. He began developing a passion for pediatric care during his residency in Qatar at the Hamad Medical Corporation Hospital and Sidra Medicine and Research Center. In 2022, he completed a second residency at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo.
Before joining USA Health, Sabobeh completed a fellowship for pediatric critical care medicine at the University of Tennessee Health and Science Center in Memphis.
As part of USA Health, the academic health system for the University of South Alabama, Sabobeh is an assistant professor of pediatrics at the Whiddon College of Medicine.
“I look at medical education as a legacy that stays behind, as all that knowledge and the skills you are able to transmit to others,” he said. “You would only hope they would use it wisely treating patients in their career and teaching others.”
