Dr. Tarig Omer

Dr. Tarig Omer is a Staff Physician in the Critical Care Department at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi's Integrated Hospital Care Institute. He completed his medical degree at the University of Juba in Sudan, followed by residency training in internal medicine at Wright State University in Ohio. He went on to complete fellowships in critical care medicine at St. Louis University and neuro-critical care at Cleveland Clinic, before spending five years as a critical care physician at Cleveland Clinic's main campus in Cleveland.

Dr. Omer specializes in managing patients in intensive care units across multiple settings—from cardiothoracic and neuro-intensive care to medical and surgical critical care. His expertise includes advanced techniques such as mechanical ventilation, extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO, a machine that takes over heart and lung function), ventricular assist devices (pumps that support a failing heart), echocardiography (heart ultrasound), and interventional critical care. He has accumulated over seven years of clinical academic experience in these areas.

With deep experience in multi-specialty intensive care units, Dr. Omer is well suited for patients requiring complex, multi-system critical care management, particularly those with cardiovascular or neurological complications during acute illness.
