HOMETOWN: Walnut, CA

MEDICAL SCHOOL: St. George’s University

ABOUT ME: Zayn is a graduate of Eisenhower Health’s Internal Medicine Residency Program . As a transmasculine-of-center individual, (pronouns he/him/his), Zayn aspires to become a provider in transgender health and to use the skills acquired in his medical studies to serve marginalized groups, especially the LGBTQIA community.

At Saint George’s University (SGU), Zayn was co-president of Pride and Equality, the LGBTQ organization on campus, as well as the president of SGU’s chapter of Physicians for Human Rights. He believes that through creating opportunities for education about sensitive topics in a non-judgmental space, we can bridge understanding between groups that have chronically been misunderstood and misrepresented. Zayn hopes to implement inclusive practices such as using the patient’s chosen name and pronouns, as well as facilitating workshops for other health care providers to become more knowledgeable about transgender care, thereby improving accessibility for transgender patients.

Beyond medicine, Zayn is a proud member of the LGBTQ dragonboat team Prism Dragons, based in Long Beach, CA. He is an avid parkour and breakdancing enthusiast, and he also enjoys Olympic-style sparring in Taekwondo, including coaching youth to cultivate their love of martial arts.
