History, Training, And Competence
Dr. Moubayed immigrated to Canada at the age of 7 from Syria, and grew up in Cartierville in Montreal. He initially wanted to study graphic design and computer science, but gravitated towards medicine. He found in surgery a true passion, being a perfect balance between art and science.
He graduated medical school at the University of Montreal, and finished his residency training at the same university in Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery.
Each year, in Canada, less than 30 positions are available in this specialty, making it one of the most competitive to get into. He graduated in the top 10% of graduates of his discipline, on the Dean’s Honor List.
He also obtained the Subspecialization bursary, which is a prestigious award given yearly to a single student among 321 medical and surgical graduates.
He then went on to New York City at the prestigious Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai to work under Dr. Mark Urken, one of the founding fathers of complex head and neck reconstruction.
He graduated with a fellowship in Head and Neck Microvascular Reconstruction and Oncology, accredited by the American Head and Neck Society. During these types of operations, which last often more than 6 hours, surgeons harvest tissue from patients’ arms, chest, or legs to reconstruct the face, and suture small blood vessels to blood vessels in the neck using tiny sutures as thin as hair.
He was then the first non-American to be admitted to the Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery program at prestigious Stanford University in California, which is often ranked first in world rankings.
He spent a year under the tutelage of Dr. Sam Most, one of the world leaders in rhinoplasty and facial surgery. This is one of the rare programs in the world that offers complete training in complex cosmetic and reconstructive facial surgery and is accredited by the American Academy of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. He graduated in the top 10% in North America at the specialty certifying examination.
