Professional History

Dr. Muhammad Bakr Ghbeis graduated from Damascus University Medical School in his home country, Syria. He joined the combined Internal Medicine and Pediatrics residency training program at the Marshfield Clinic, University of Wisconsin in Marshfield, WI, after which he joined as instructor of Medicine the Tufts University Baystate Medical Center campus until 2012. At that time, he decided to pursue further training in Pediatric Intensive Care at the University of Minnesota Children’s Hospital for three years, and then moved on to do a fourth year focusing on Cardiac Critical Care in children at Boston Children’s Hospital.

His research areas of interest include post-operative management of patients undergoing biventricular repair, long term outcomes for biventricular repair patients vs Fontan, anticoagulation management for patients in the cardiac critical care unit, as well as using tele-medicine for critically ill children at time of crisis.

Approach to Care
Since my early years in medical school and training I was always fascinated by both cardiology and critical care medicine. My mentor during residency training was a cardiologist and I very well remember those nights at the pediatric critical care unit where we would care for critically ill cardiac patients. I enjoyed the physiology and anatomy understanding and their application to the bedside care. I recognized how rewarding it is to share my knowledge with cardiac patients and their parents and families. During my pediatric critical care fellowship, I encountered a wide variety of cardiac critical care cases. Many of these ranged from time of birth throughout different age groups, at time of diagnosis, critical management or after surgical procedures. This has only excited me more to further enrich my experience, and hence I pursued a dedicated fellowship training in pediatric cardiac critical care.
