About Adam Basha, DO
As someone who enjoyed the challenge of solving difficult problems, a career path of engineering seemed like a
good choice for Dr. Adam Basha, DO. “I began volunteering in the hospital and noticed that a conversation with a
stranger was much more enlightening than solving an equation, so I asked myself, ‘How can I combine the two?
How can I be compassionate and solve difficult problems?’ Although the path had some ups and downs I came to
the conclusion that a career in medicine was the solution,” he says.
Dr. Basha earned his Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering from Wayne State University, Detroit, MI. He
then went to Michigan State University College of Osteopathic Medicine, East Lansing, MI, where he graduated
with his Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree. His residency was completed in East Lansing at University of
Michigan, Sparrow Internal Medicine.

In his role, Dr. Basha counsels people about medical concerns and addresses them to align as closely as possible for
both evidence-based medicine and the patient’s circumstances.
Dr. Basha wants his patients to know that he will listen to their needs and concerns. “I found listening carefully and
honing one’s intuition makes the most difference, since establishing patient trust is typically the first hurdle,” he
says.
In his own words…
Who is or was the most influential people/role models in your life? Dr. Yee, previously the head of nephrology at University of Michigan. He embraced my desire to combine engineering with medicine and he supported me when I was a struggling medical student.
What was your first job growing up? What do you remember about it? My first job was a student tutor. I remember that I would sometimes get lost in explanations and how rewarding it was for students to advance and grow.
What is your favorite food? Movie? What was your best/worst subjects in school? Favorite food: sushi. Favorite movie: Sherlock Holmes (Robert Downey, Jr. version). Best subjects: Calculus and organic chemistry. Worst subjects: history and geography.
If you could sit down to dinner with anyone (alive or deceased) who would it be and why? My late father since his dream was that I become a physician.
In addition to medicine, what are you passionate about? When I had free time during residency, I used to visit the cafeteria and play the grand piano and practiced at home when I had the chance. Over the last three years I developed a knack for generating music.
