Dr. Ismail is an Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of California Riverside, teaching and mentoring residents rotating at Riverside Community Hospital and at PPMG's outpatient clinic. She is also the Director of the Lung Cancer program and Chair of the Thoracic Tumor Board at Riverside Community Hospital where she is spearheading efforts as part of the advisory board in laying the foundation for a Lung Cancer program which will focus on combining quality and safety with the most advanced, minimally invasive bronchoscopy techniques.
