Holding California Medical License #156500 and dual American Board certifications in Psychiatry-Neurology and Consultation-Liaison Psychosomatic Medicine, Lama Muhammad, MD practices at the UC San Diego Health Hillcrest psychiatry suite at 350 Dickinson Street as an Associate Professor in the UCSD Department of Psychiatry. Her caseload concentrates on treatment-resistant depression and the psychiatric overlay of autoimmune and medically complex inpatient cases — a consultation-liaison niche distinct from the higher-volume general outpatient psychiatry workflow at Advanced Psychiatry Associates down the corridor. Trained originally as a board-certified dermatologist at Damascus University before completing internal medicine at Case Western Reserve and a general psychiatry residency at the University of New Mexico, she carries a multi-specialty diagnostic frame that other psychiatrists rarely bring into a referral. Her CL psychiatry consults route through UCSD's hospital-based services and the surgical and medical floors connected to the McGrath Outpatient Pavilion at UC San Diego Health. The most complex referrals involve dermatologic-psychiatric overlap, autoimmune neuropsychiatric symptoms and medication management for patients on immunosuppressants where standard SSRIs are contraindicated.
