ABOUT DR. FAISAL REHMAN
Dr. Faisal Rehman is a Nephrologist (kidney specialist), Professor of Medicine at Western University, and former Site Chief of Medicine at London Health Sciences Centre – University Hospital. He is actively involved in teaching nephrology and internal medicine to medical students, residents, and clinical fellows at the Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry at Western University. He also runs a bustling clinical practice. Dr. Rehman is an avid philanthropist having established a charity to assist patients with kidney disease and others in his community.
He dedicates hours of his time and his personal finances towards the annual fundraiser, Showdown in the Downtown, which has raised over $2.5 million since 2009, to support local charities and medical and kidney research.
Dr. Rehman has also been an invaluable resource with his time and expertise for PHSS. When COVID-19 vaccines began being produced, there was a lot of uncertainty about the safety of the offered vaccines. Dr. Rehman was happy to volunteer his time to consult with specialists at the hospital and compile a presentation for PHSS staff, families, and individuals to address the production of COVID-19 vaccines, their safety and possible side effects, and offered multiple Q&A sessions in order to educate and reassure people about the safety and benefits of the vaccines. Dr. Rehman also offered to be a resource for any staff who had further questions about the COVID-19 vaccines. He has always been just a phone call or text away and has always been more than willing to assist the organization, the people we serve, and the greater community in any way he can.
