Dr. Hammoud completed her M.D. degree at the University of Michigan Medical School, graduating Alpha Omega Alpha and cum laude in 1996. Upon completion of her residency training in Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Michigan Hospital in 2000, she joined the faculty as assistant professor and the Director of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Clerkship.  She then served as Assistant Dean for Student Programs and Interim Associate Dean for Student Programs prior to relocating to Qatar.

Among her clinical and research activities at the University of Michigan Hospital, Dr. Hammoud developed and directed the Middle Eastern Women's Health Program which primary mission was to provide culturally sensitive health care services to women of Middle Eastern origin. She published on special health and cultural issues in the Arab and Muslim patient, and translated patient education materials from English into Arabic. In recognition of her contributions, Dr. Hammoud was awarded the Arab American and Chaldean Council's Excellence in Health Care Award.  Currently, she continues her work in this area by collaborating on a project with faculty in Qatar on developing culturally appropriate instruments for patients' assessment of the quality of health care in the Middle East.
