Dear AKU family,
We are very sad to report the untimely passing of Arif Amin Khan (Medical School Class of 1989). He died unexpectedly in his sleep on July 10, 2014.
A brilliant and genius mind who did very well in school, he was also a very considerate, generous and caring person – a true friend’s friend. Many will remember him for his vivacious, spirited (somewhat quirky), and fun loving personality. One of the top graduates from our class, he trained as a general surgeon on the East Coast of the US. Subsequently, he spent 2 years doing research at the Hammersmith Hospital in the UK and then did a fellowship in endocrine and minimally invasive surgery and after a brief stint at University of Southern California, he went into practice in San Francisco. Some years ago he started his own, very successful clinic, implementing a long term vision of his.
Members of the Class of 1989 are devastated to hear of this news; we were all looking forward to seeing him again at the upcoming 25th reunion in Washington, DC on August 15, 2014, which Arif was planning to attend. The class is planning a tribute to him at the reunion; details are being worked for a class gift in his honor. Arif is survived by his mother (currently living in the UK), two sisters and three brothers.
