About Dr. Rahila Ali

I was born and raised in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of northern Pakistan. Some of the globally famous highest peaks and longest glaciers of this region attract a large number of mountaineers, and tourists from all over the world. However, this region of Pakistan remained deprived of modern facilities and quality healthcare for a long. I feel privileged to be born into a family headed by a father who was among the few doctors in the town. Therefore, from my childhood, I was deeply inspired by my father who worked after office hours to help those who could not afford to visit hospitals. I have earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Medicine from Fatima Jinnah Medical University.

I am thankful to the Memorial Hospital for providing me with an opportunity to acquire empirical experiences in modern healthcare. During the residency, I aim to improve my clinical knowledge and skills to serve underprivileged society with quality and affordable healthcare. I want to be another inspiring example that others would wish to follow me.

I would be a chef if I was not a doctor. I like to cook different recipes of Pakistani and Indian cuisine. Apart from that I enjoy spending time with my husband and going on long drives to explore nature.

About Dr. Salman Bari

I am from the city of Hyderabad in the heart of India’s Deccan plateau. I studied and graduated from this city laced with history and endowed with a splendid heritage and culture.

After almost a decade of practicing General and Emergency medicine, first in subordinate and then in leadership roles, at Ras Al Khaimah in the United Arab Emirates, I now arrive at Memorial Hospital in Gulfport on the charming Mississippi Gulf Coast.

Memorial provides a diverse and intricate atmosphere of learning. There is emphasis on a strong attachment to the community. Also, this being a nascent residency program it allows me opportunity to grow apace.

I hope to practice Internal Medicine with empathy and compassion in this environment that fosters wellness, competence and camaraderie.

I love to travel and discover new sights and sounds. I read and write Urdu poetry, and I am a devoted soccer player. Above all, I am a Hyderabadi, so nothing can rival my ardent fancy for biryani, the incomparable delight from the city of culinary delights!

About Dr. Logan Tyler Boutwell

I was born and raised in Petal, MS, but much of my childhood was spent along the Gulf Coast, where I developed a passion for inshore fishing, particularly for Speckled Trout and Red Fish. After graduating from Petal High School, I pursued my Bachelor of Science in Biology with a minor in Chemistry at the University of Mississippi, graduating in 2020. I went on to earn my Doctor of Medicine degree from the University of Mississippi Medical Center.

I chose Internal Medicine because of the diverse range of specialties, offering the opportunity to engage with multiple aspects of patient care. I often liken the role of an internist to that of a quarterback, coordinating and leading the “team” of specialists to provide the best care.

When it came time to choose a residency program, I chose Memorial Hospital because I wanted more than just a place to complete my residency; I was searching for a true sense of home. From the moment I interviewed, the warmth and friendliness of the faculty and staff were evident, and I knew then that this place was exceptional. I’m confident that I made the right choice.

About Dr. Taylor Brewer

I was born in Houma, LA, and moved to the MS Gulf Coast when I was 9 years old. I attended Harrison Central High School and graduated from William Carey University in 2017 with my Bachelor of Science in Biology with minors in Chemistry and Psychology.

During clinical rotations in medical school, I found it quite difficult to decide what branch of medicine I loved most, which is what eventually guided my heart toward primary care/Internal Medicine. I am also passionate about skin health and cancer prevention, so I hope to eventually practice with an emphasis in dermatology.

My overall goal as a physician is to provide education to patients in an effort to improve their understanding of what is happening to/within their bodies so they can play a role in their healthcare decision-making.

I am absolutely thrilled to be home and have the opportunity to directly serve the community that molded me! I love where I’m from and look forward to providing quality care and preventive measures to keep our community healthy and thriving.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family- especially my little brother, fiancé, 2 pups (Emmie and Blue), and friends. I love the beach, traveling, and softball!
