Dr. Khaldoon Alkhaldi is a Staff Physician in the Emergency Medicine Department at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi. He is a UAE medical school graduate with 17 years of clinical experience, initially training as an intern at Tawam Hospital (affiliated with Johns Hopkins) before completing his emergency medicine residency in France. He then moved to the United States to undertake three specialized fellowships at Harvard Medical School's BIDMC Emergency Medicine Department, focusing on disaster medicine, international emergency medical services, and crisis leadership.
Dr. Alkhaldi's clinical practice centers on emergency and acute care management, with particular depth in mass gathering medicine, pre-hospital emergency response, and disaster preparedness. He has evaluated medical responses during major disaster drills, including the federal Alaska Shield exercise, and contributed as a section author to a new edition of a leading disaster medicine textbook. His experience spans both direct patient care and healthcare system leadership—he has held multiple senior positions within Abu Dhabi Health Services, including Chairman of the Emergency Medicine Council and roles in quality and project management.
He is well-suited for patients requiring emergency care, those involved in large-scale public events needing medical oversight, and healthcare organizations seeking guidance on emergency preparedness and disaster response planning.
Special interests: disaster preparedness, international EMS systems, mass gathering medicine, crisis and emergency leadership, healthcare quality management.
