Adnan Husein, MD

Adnan Husein was born and raised in Toronto, Canada. He pursued a Bachelor of Medical Sciences degree at the University of Western Ontario where he earned an honors specialization in interdisciplinary medical science. His initial interest in neuroscience was sparked during a lecture on visual pathways in an undergraduate elective, ‘The Physiology of Senses’. Upon graduation, Adnan ventured to Chicago, where he attended the Chicago Medical School at Rosalind Franklin University, earning his medical degree. Throughout his education, Adnan was always captivated by the intricate workings of the human mind, and the impact of neurological disease processes on cognition, behavior, and function. His ultimate decision to pursue neurology was based on a desire to understand the mind-brain connection and how we can improve the way patients interact with the world. Adnan had the opportunity to contribute to significant research focusing on the contemporary neurological outcomes of medically managed asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis. Adnan has a strong passion for medical education and mentorship, recognizing the essential role of physicians as educators within their communities and to their patients. Outside of medicine, Adnan’s interests reflect the diverse spirits of the cities he has lived in. As a former improvisational actor, he cherishes the dramatic arts and often indulges in the comedy scenes on his days off. Embracing the natural beauty of Los Angeles, Adnan takes full advantage of the city’s stunning oceans and mountains, regularly enjoying beach days and hikes. He is also an avid sports fan, a passionate traveler, and an adventurous foodie — always eager to explore different cuisines, particularly when enjoyed on a sunny patio.
