President-elect Donald Trump has nominated Dr. Janette Nesheiwat, a family medicine physician and Fox News medical contributor, to serve as the next U.S. Surgeon General.
Dr. Nesheiwat, born in Carmel, New York, to Jordanian immigrant parents, was raised in Umatilla, Florida. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of South Florida and her medical degree from the American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine. She completed her family medicine residency at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences.
Throughout her career, Dr. Nesheiwat has been dedicated to providing accessible healthcare. She served as the medical director for CityMD, a network of urgent care centers in New York City, and has been a prominent medical news contributor, offering insights on various health topics.
Dr. Nesheiwat’s nomination has been met with support from various healthcare professionals who commend her clinical experience and communication skills. However, some public health experts have raised concerns about her previous media commentary and its alignment with established medical guidelines.
The Surgeon General serves as the nation’s leading spokesperson on matters of public health, providing information and guidance to the American public. Dr. Nesheiwat’s nomination is subject to Senate confirmation, and if approved, she will succeed Dr. Vivek Murthy in this role.
As the confirmation process unfolds, stakeholders anticipate further discussions on Dr. Nesheiwat’s qualifications and her vision for the future of public health in the United States.
