Ammr Al-Houssan hopes to complete his surgical residency training at the University of Connecticut, then seek fellowship training and establish his practice so that he may make a meaningful and transforming impact on his patients' lives.

Al-Houssan grew up in Canada's National Capital Region. He received his Ontario Secondary School Diploma from Earl of March Secondary School in Kanata, an Ottawa suburb, in 2013. He was a hardworking student with a great interest in science. Rather of attend a North American institution for a pre-medical baccalaureate degree, Al-Houssan was accepted into RCSI's direct entrance medical school in Dublin, Ireland.
