Near-peer medical mentorship

Raffi Melikian, MD
FellowOther
Washington, DC
I grew up in Southern California and earned my undergraduate degree from California State University, Long Beach. I then moved to Boston to complete my MD/MBA at Tufts University before returning to Los Angeles for general surgery residency at USC/LA General Medical Center. I am currently an Abdominal Transplant and HPB Surgery Fellow at Georgetown University Hospital in Washington, DC. Much of my success is attributable to the mentors who guided me, and I am committed to paying that forward.
