“Dr. Jihad Mustapha’s story is even more incredible considering that at just 15, he fled his war-torn homeland of Lebanon, landing alongside not a single friend or family member at JFK airport, with $80 to his name and little more than a single change of clothes. By the next day – despite knowing no English – he was hawking umbrellas and flowers on the streets of New York. He enrolled in night school to learn the language, lived with a sister to save money, and eventually moved to Michigan, where he worked at a restaurant cleaning toilets and bussing tables,” states the official website of his practice. J. A. Mustapha, MD, FACC, FSCAI, attended St. George University School of Medicine in Grenada, and received his medical degree in 1995. Furthermore, he conducted his residency in internal medicine at Spectrum Health-Blodgett (1996 – 1999). In addition, he completed his fellowship training in cardiovascular disease medicine (1999 – 2002), as well as his fellowship in interventional cardiology (2002 – 2003) at Louisiana State University. Dr. Mustapha received board certification in internal medicine, cardiology, and interventional cardiology from the American Board of Internal Medicine. Dr. Mustapha initially enrolled in college to become a physicist. To honor the memory of a brother who died before realizing his own dream of becoming a doctor, he switched gears and entered the pre-med program at Wayne State University, where he completed his BA degree in Biology in 1991.
