She is part of the Surgeon-Scientist Training and Clinician Investigator Programs. Dr. Elbatarny previously completed her BSc (Life Sciences, 2015) and MD (2019) at Queen's University. Her passion for cardiac surgery sparked research in: thoracic aortic disease, congenital disease, surgical management of atrial fibrillation, infective endocarditis, and others. Dr. Elbatarny's interest in overcoming barriers to accessing cardiac surgical care led her to participate in global cardiac surgical rotations and establish ongoing international collaborations. She has also applied her previous experience from entrepreneurship projects, marketing, and graphic design to produce surgical patient education videos, participate in health awareness campaign development, and scientific illustration.
