Chris Sossou, MD

Chris Sossou, MD, is an interventional cardiology fellow at Morristown Medical Center (Morristown, NJ). Sossou immigrated to US in 2004 after spending 13 years in various refugee camps in the Ivory Coast. He earned his medical degree from St. George’s University School of Medicine (Grenada, West Indies), completed his internal medicine residency at Rutgers-Newark Beth Israel Medical Center (Newark, NJ), and finished his cardiology fellowship at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, where he served as chief fellow. 

Sossou’s research interests focus on clinical translational research and social determinants of healthcare outcomes. His clinical interests include women’s cardiovascular health, preventive cardiology, and CAD.  Recognizing that personalized, impact-driven mentorship programs are lacking in underserved communities, Sossou serves as a mentor through a program he initiated called the Young Citizen Mentorship Program and also to college and medical students, residents, and cardiology fellows. In his free time, he enjoys playing and watching soccer, cooking, and traveling.
