Alin Gragossian, DO, MPH
Alin Gragossian, DO, MPH (@ag_em33) is a senior resident with a passion for Critical Care who has persevered through closure of her primary residency program as well as a sudden diagnosis of heart failure secondary to cardiomyopathy, necessitating an emergent heart transplant during residency.
