ANNISTON ARMY DEPOT, Ala. -- Maj. Aartif Hayat, M.D., is the new physician for Anniston Army Depot's Dear Occupational Health Clinic.
Hayat, born in Illinois and raised in Maryland, earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Maryland Baltimore County before joining the military and attending the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences for his doctoral studies.
He earned his medical doctorate in 2005 and was assigned to Tripler Army Medical Center in Hawaii for his internship.
Since that time, Hayat has served in the Sinai and in Maryland at the Walter Reed Institute of Research.
He deployed in 2011 with the 82nd Airborne for stability operations and recently served as the acting program manager for disease epidemiology for the U.S. Army Public Health Command.
Having done his residency both in preventative medicine and occupational medicine, Hayat is eager to again work in an occupational medicine setting.
"I was interested in this position because of the large scale industrial base," he said. "I'm excited to be here."
