During this time, he worked with the executive leadership team to oversee a time of tremendous organizational growth at Rothman Orthopaedic Institute. Dr. Abboud graduated summa cum laude from St. Joseph’s University (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) in 1994 with a bachelor of science in Biology. He received his medical degree from Georgetown University School of Medicine (Washington, DC) where he was promoted with “Distinction.” He earned membership in the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Society and graduated with honors in 1998. He went on to complete his residency in orthopedic surgery at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) where he served as the Administrative Chief Resident. He subsequently completed two 1-year fellowships at the University of Pennsylvania in shoulder and elbow surgery and orthopedic biomechanics. Dr. Abboud maintains a full clinical practice and an active academic and teaching schedule. He has 20 years of experience in shoulder and elbow surgery. He actively participates in regional, national, and international orthopedic societies and serves on various national committees in leadership positions. He has presented more than 500 lectures nationally and internationally and is the author of more than 200 scientific articles and several textbooks. He has an active interest in basic science research focusing on the modulation of scar formation after injury and surgery, biologic markers for prediction of rotator cuff healing, as well as the role of cholesterol in tendon health. This research has been funded by prestigious grants from the Orthopaedic Research and Education Foundation, the Department of Defense, and the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine. His passion for teaching has been acknowledged by the Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University, Dean’s Award for Excellence in Education. He has routinely been recognized for excellence in patient care by receiving such awards as the Castle Connolly’s American Top Doctors recognition as well as the Top Doc edition of Philadelphia Magazine and other regional publications.
