Personal Bio
Dr. Al-Lawati is excited to move to Minnesota after a delay due to Covid-19. She grew up in Oman (and Utah!). She completed her Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and moved to the east coast for her medical degree at George Washington University. She moved back to the Midwest and completed her Pediatrics Residency at the University of Michigan-Mott Children’s Hospital. She moved to Houston to complete her Pediatric Critical Care Fellowship at Baylor College of Medicine-Texas Children’s Hospital. After fellowship, she worked at Children’s Hospital of Michigan (Detroit), where she took care of both medical/surgical and cardiac patients. Her professional interests include fluid overload, sepsis and renal injury. When she is not working, Dr. Al-Lawati enjoys travelling, hiking, reading and exploring new restaurants and coffee shops.
