Bio
Dr. Bourgi graduated from the American University of Beirut where he received his Bachelor of Science in Biology (BS, 2007) and Doctor of Medicine (MD, 2011) degrees. He then completed his Internal Medicine residency training (2015) and served as a chief resident (2016) at Henry Ford Hospital, Wayne State University. Dr. Bourgi later completed his Infectious Disease and HIV fellowship training at Vanderbilt University (2018).
Dr. Bourgi’s research interests focus on evaluating the care continuum of non-communicable diseases among persons living with HIV (PLWH), including the incidence, disease management and gaps in the care cascade of non-AIDS related events. Dr. Bourgi is also interested in studying the metabolic complications associated with HIV infection and the long-term use of antiretroviral therapy (ART). His current research evaluates the differences in incidence of metabolic complications among different ART classes. He is a co-investigator in an NA-ACCORD study (The North American AIDS Cohort Collaboration on Research and Design) evaluating changes in weight, lipid and glucose metabolism among treatment naïve patients starting ART.
