Dr. Joundi received his MD from Queen’s University and DPhil from Oxford University on a Rhodes Scholarship. He was co-chief neurology resident at the University of Toronto and is pursuing a stroke fellowship at the University of Calgary.
Dr. Khosravani is appointed as a Clinician in Quality & Innovation and Assistant Professor of Medicine, in the Division of Neurology, Department of Medicine, University of Toronto. His interests are quality improvement at different levels of care relevant to hyper-acute stroke management and inpatient stroke services. At the level of hyperacute stroke care, his focus is on improvement of door-to-needle times for thrombolysis. He is also working on understanding and improving factors that are relevant to a successful thrombectomy program in a comprehensive stroke center. He is medical director of the inpatient stroke unit, and interested in development of stroke pathways, the overlap between internal medicine and inpatient stroke neurology, and development of a framework for excellence in comprehensive neurovascular care. Dr. Khosravani is a member of Thrombosis Canada and interested in the implementation of stroke-best practices in the area of antithrombotics and anticoagulation. Dr. Khosravani also has a strong interest in utilizing computation and computer science to facilitate safe and high quality acute stroke care.
