Rooman Ahad, MD
Pediatric Neurologist
Pediatric Neurologist for Grant a Gift, Rooman Ahad, MD, is one of 57 diverse women physicians who have been awarded the 2022 AMWA INSPIRE Award which recognizes accomplished women physicians who exemplify the highest values in vision, integrity, service, and collaboration in medicine.
The AMWA INSPIRE Award, established by the AMWA Leadership Council, honors women physicians who inspire others because of their dedication to health care, compassion for patients, leadership, advocacy efforts, or community service. Recipients of the award may be nominated by professional colleagues, supervisors, students, or others not in the field of medicine.
“Thank you AMWA for this honor,” said Dr. Ahad. “It is a privilege and honor to do the work that we do in medicine. Thank you to the female students at the Kirk Kerkorian School of Medicine at UNLV that nominated me. I hold great pride being the only female doctor recipient representing Nevada.”
“The 2022 Honorees are exceptional women physicians who work in private practice, academia, or as hospitalists,” says Dr Connie Newman, Past President of AMWA and founding member of the AMWA Leadership Council. “We give this Award during Women in Medicine month to highlight the many contributions of women physicians to medical care, medical education and research.”
