Dr. Mohammed Mosli comes from a long line of physicians. Although he initially planned to become a surgeon like his father, his career path took an unexpected turn that led him to specialize in public health and preventive medicine with a special interest in addiction health. His focus has increasingly been on caring for vulnerable populations.
A colleague felt Dr. Mosli’s care for these populations deserves to be showcased:
“I am nominating Dr. Mosli for the Shine A Light because he has such a passion for caring for the vulnerable population. Dr. Mosli is a public health and preventive medicine specialist who has dedicated his practice to helping those who suffer from pain, substance use disorders and mental health. He spends as much time as necessary with his patients and builds lasting relationships with those who do not have many positive people in their lives.”
“Dr. Mosli has partnered with different community partners to help expand the medical neighbourhood for these people and because of this, patients are being tested and treated for STBBIs when they would normally go undiagnosed; homeless individuals are becoming sober, getting approved for financial assistance, connecting back with their families and having more stability in their health and their lives. Dr. Mosli sees past the external picture of his patients and gets to know them as the individuals that they are and helps them to be the people that they can be. He connects them to the proper resources that they need so that they do not fall through the cracks of the system.”
“Dr. Mosli deserves to be recognized for the work that he is doing to help that many patients in his practice. I have seen him walk the streets to just say ‘hi’ and share a smile with many of the homeless and see if he can help them in any way. Truly inspirational.”
