Professor Ibrahim Saba Salti: A Titan of Arab Endocrinology

Professor Ibrahim Saba Salti was a Jerusalem native who became an Arab and an internationally respected legend in endocrinology. He was a man who was molded into a physician with a well-earned scientific pedigree in Lebanon. He got scholarly adopted by the American University of Beirut (AUB), from whom he adopted back to become one of its most iconic teachers and a revered professor of clinical medicine at its medical center (American University of Beirut Medical Center (AUBMC)). Prof. Salti's hard work was evident from a young age, from once holding a record of the youngest freshman to enter AUB to being the youngest medical graduate. From his work in establishing Lebanese, Arab, and international medical societies to having hundreds of scientific publications under his belt, Prof. Salti never failed to delicately and meticulously serve his patients in the field of endocrinology. He was a kind-hearted physician, scholar, and father figure who will never be matched again.
