What is Sarcoidosis with Dr. Bobak Akhavan

from The Dr. Raj Podcast · host Raj Dasgupta & MedPrepToGo

Today's Guest Dr. Akavan is a native of Los Angeles, has traveled to Granada in New York and Texas to complete his medical training. He completed a chief residency year in internal medicine at the University of Texas at Houston, and was a chief fellow at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where he currently practices as a pulmonary and critical care physician. Dr. Akavan spends half of his time in the ICU and the other half doing palm consults and doing some clinic. Dr. Akavan has a special interest in sarcoidosis and is the medical director of the Pulmonary Sarcoidosis Program. Since joining Cedars-Sinai, he has helped build a strong, structured, multi-disciplinary sarcoidosis program. And I wanna say one more thing before I introduce him is that his comments are his own. And do not represent Cedars-Sinai. About Dr. Raj Dr Raj is a quadruple board certified physician and associate professor at the University of Southern California. He was a co-host on the TNT series Chasing the Cure with Ann Curry, a regular on the TV Show The Doctors for the past 7 seasons and has a weekly medical segment on ABC news Los Angeles.
