Interventional pulmonologist Ashfin Sam, M.D., M.Sc., wanted to be a physician from a young age, inspired by the positive impact made by compassionate health care providers in his community.

Dr. Sam earned his medical degree from Iran University of Medical Sciences, after which he completed a master’s in medical informatics at City University of London. He was a resident in internal medicine at Saint Mary’s Hospital, an affiliate of Yale School of Medicine, where he became chief resident. He then completed an advanced fellowship in interventional pulmonology and a fellowship in pulmonary and critical care at the University of Arizona, where he would later serve as associate professor of medicine.
Born and raised in Iran, Dr. Sam is fluent in Farsi and has strong ties to the Iranian community in Los Angeles. Outside of work, he enjoys playing sports with friends and spending time with family.
