AAP California Chapter 1 Event Host
Amna Khan, MD, FAAP
Dr. Amna Khan is an outpatient pediatrician at a large, safety net public hospital in the Bay Area, California. She comes from a unique family—her mother is from El Salvador and her father is from Pakistan. Her childhood was infused with Muslim and Catholic religious teachings, delicious food and many different, cultural perspectives. She is very thankful for her family home that was rooted in the premise that humans are much more similar than different, but those differences are what make us beautiful. This foundation has been the guiding light in her life, and the reason why she consider herself much more a humanist, enchanted by the stories and histories of people, versus a scientist absorbed primarily by how our insides function.
