Al Alam, MD

I am Board certified in both Psychiatry and Internal Medicine. Started my career at the University of Pittsburgh, where I served for five years on the faculty and served as Associate Director for Consultation and Liaison Psychiatry and the student Clerkship Director. I am a productive writer and have published a number of articles related to the interface of psychiatry and medicine. Continuing my journey and having fun, currently, I am a teaching clinical faculty as an Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of San Diego.



I feel fortunate to have found my passion in psychiatry, my extensive training and expertise have provided me with ample tools to work with most psychiatric conditions.



Philosophy of Care:



I have a thorough, methodical, and empathic approach. I strive to make an accurate diagnosis and apply an evidence-based approach to management. I will offer psychoeducation, guidance, and perspective to empower individuals to become their best selves.
