Clinical Neurology
From acute stroke and seizure to the slow puzzles of headache, demyelination, and movement disorders. The answer is sometimes on the MRI — more often it’s hiding in the history.

History of the present physician.
I’m Abdulrahman Alhayssoni, a neurology resident at King Saud University Medical City. By day I examine brains. After hours I study the machines learning to read them — and help write the rules that keep them honest.
Neurological exams, ward rounds, and the small detective work of finding out what a brain is trying to say. That’s the day job. The after-hours question: what happens when the next stethoscope is a model?
Governance is the unsexy scaffolding — policy, audit trails, consent — that decides whether a tool helps a patient or harms them. I work on that, and on the harder part: bringing models into clinics without spending trust it took medicine a century to earn.
Continue neurology residency. Research the safe use of large models in clinical workflows — diagnostics, triage, documentation. Audit the quiet ethics underneath. Reassess daily.

Policy, audit, validation, and consent. How a hospital decides what a model is allowed to do — and what to do when it’s wrong.

The course so far.
Neurology Resident
King Saud University Medical City · Riyadh
Inpatient service, outpatient clinics, and the on-call phone. Between admissions: working out how AI tools earn a place in everyday hospital workflows — safely, and on the record.
Engagement Lead
NarraLabs · Part-time
Part-time interpreter between two dialects: what clinicians actually need, and what AI teams actually build. Steered healthcare-AI engagements through governance, validation, and adoption.
Medical Intern
King Saud University · Riyadh
Rotated through internal medicine, surgery, ED, pediatrics, and ob-gyn. Gravitated toward neurology — the discipline that rewards listening more than ordering.
College of Medicine — Student Club President
King Saud University · Riyadh
Ran the college’s student club — timelines, budgets, a full calendar of academic and community events. Learned to ship things with a team that keeps hospital hours.
College of Medicine — Vice President
King Saud University · Riyadh
Led student initiatives through a year that asked everyone to work differently. Programming, budgeting, mentorship — much of it over webcam.
Batch Leader
King Saud University · Riyadh
The link between the college and the batch — schedules, announcements, and the small, constant logistics of keeping a medical cohort pointed the same way.
MBBS — College of Medicine
King Saud University · Riyadh
Six years of medicine, biostatistics, and the slow craft of clinical reasoning. Started a habit that hasn’t stopped: reading something clinical and something computational every week.
