The hospitalist, who joined the staff at Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) at Midwestern Regional Medical Center in 2008, says, “CTCA’s care model of putting patients first attracted me to CTCA. That’s exactly the way I’ve always practiced medicine, so it was the perfect match. Plus, I was very impressed by the fact that CTCA integrated traditional and complementary treatments, and offered all of these treatments and services under one roof.”
Dr. Abutalib is board certified in internal medicine. She earned a medical degree from Dow Medical College in Karachi, Pakistan. She went on to complete a surgical and medical internship at the college’s hospital.
