Hani Rashid, DO

Arizona Arthritis and Rheumatology Associates

Dr. Rashid attended UCLA on an academic scholarship and graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. He later attended medical school at Midwestern University (where he met his future wife, who is now a physician-partner with Affiliated Hospitalists in Phoenix and Scottsdale). Dr. Rashid started his residency training in Anesthesiology at UT Southwestern Medical Center but soon realized his passion for Internal Medicine and managing complex diseases. He completed an Internal Medicine residency at Methodist Dallas Medical Center and served as Chief Resident. He then returned to Arizona to complete his Rheumatology fellowship at the University of Arizona in Tucson and served as Chief Fellow during his final year of fellowship.

Dr. Rashid is board-certified in Rheumatology and Internal Medicine by the American Board of Internal Medicine and teaches the joint aspiration and injection workshop at the annual American College of Physicians national meeting. He has a strong interest in medical education and has been appointed Clinical Assistant Professor by AZCOM/Midwestern University, University of Arizona College of Medicine-Phoenix, and Creighton University School of Medicine. In addition to giving traditional clinical rheumatology lectures at the medical schools, he frequently has medical students rotating with him in his clinic.

He is the team rheumatologist for the Cincinnati Reds during their Arizona activities and has helped high-performing athletes recover from rheumatologic diseases and return to various levels of professional baseball, including Major League Baseball.

Serving on the Board of Trustees of the Arizona Osteopathic Medical Association has allowed him and other physicians to strongly advocate for patients to receive the medical treatments they deserve.
