Dr. Rehman’s Story
Your visit has been more than 20 years in the making.
“I am a life-long student of merging arts with science. My academic background in medicine started in 2005, which taught me to balance the physiology of the human body and the chemistry of kind touch to put patients on the road to recovery. I believe in treating each patient individually and providing personalized care.” “I thank you for lending me your time to share my story, the story of a multi-ethnic Asian individual who learned to be sensitive in heart, strong in resolve, and flexible in life as he lived on three continents. With a decade of academic research and clinical experience, I relocated to Northern Virginia, close to family. This marked the inception of District Endocrine, an endeavor dedicated to offering cutting-edge, personalized endocrine care to the local community. Outside of medicine, I find joy and balance in spending time with family and close friends. I love traveling, photography, and creating meaningful experiences with my family, who is the heart of my world and the inspiration behind everything I do.”
— Anis Rehman, MD, Dipl. ABOM, FEAA
Dr. Rehman’s Resume:
I am honored to have received my postgraduate medical training at distinguished institutions — Cleveland Clinic Hospital for Internal Medicine residency, followed by fellowship training in Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Metabolism at the University of Cincinnati in Ohio.
My academic career led me to the Southern Illinois University School of Medicine, where I served as an Assistant Professor of Medicine and Associate Program Director of the Endocrinology Fellowship, contributing to the training of future endocrinologists.
I continue my academic and teaching roles as a Clinical Assistant Professor at the Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine and as Staff Faculty for the Internal Medicine Residency Program at Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center, where I remain actively involved in mentoring medical students and resident physicians.
With nearly 20 years of experience across three countries and three continents, I have been privileged to contribute to medicine through clinical care, leadership, and scholarship. My research portfolio includes over 90 peer-reviewed publications, as well as 21 book chapters authored for StatPearls, a PubMed-indexed resource for physicians. These contributions reflect my commitment to advancing medical knowledge and my dedication to excellence in endocrine care, research, and education.
