Prof. Hani Z. Marzouki is a Saudi Professor and Consultant in Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery, with a subspecialty focus on head and neck oncology, microvascular reconstruction, thyroid and parathyroid surgery, salivary-gland surgery, and skull-base/head-and-neck reconstruction. He is based at King Abdulaziz University (KAU), Jeddah, where he currently serves as Head/Chairman of the Department of Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery. The official KAU department page identifies him as Dr. Hani Zuhair Mohammed Al-Marzouki and lists his institutional email.
King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
These roles are corroborated by KAU's current department-management page and the current Middle East Academy of Otolaryngology faculty profile.
He is also listed as a Consultant in Head & Neck Surgery, Thyroid and Parathyroid Surgery at Dr. Soliman Fakeeh Hospital, Jeddah.
Dr. Marzouki began his medical education at King Abdulaziz University, graduating with honors. His professional biography states that he subsequently moved to McGill University in Montreal, Canada, for postgraduate residency training in Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery.
His documented training includes:
The Dr. Soliman Fakeeh Hospital biography states that he graduated from King Abdulaziz University in 2004, completed Canadian Board/FRCSC training at McGill University in 2012, and subsequently completed advanced head-and-neck oncology and microvascular reconstruction training at the University of Alberta.
His professional profile and publication records also identify him as MD, MSc, FRCSC.
Some online profiles display slightly different dates for his early education. The most detailed hospital biography gives 2004 for his medical degree, while another research-profile source lists his medical education at KAU as 1999–2005. Therefore, for a formal speaker database, I would record simply King Abdulaziz University — Medical Degree, unless you specifically need the graduation year.
Dr. Marzouki began his academic career at King Abdulaziz University as an Otolaryngology Demonstrator from 2005 to 2007 before leaving Saudi Arabia for postgraduate training in Canada.

Following residency, he moved to the University of Alberta in Edmonton, where he completed advanced fellowship training in Head & Neck Oncology and Microvascular Reconstruction and subsequently worked as Junior Attending Staff from 2012 to 2014.
He returned to Saudi Arabia in 2014 and joined King Abdulaziz University as an Assistant Professor of Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery. He subsequently progressed academically to Associate Professor and then Professor. His professional biography identifies him as having served as a program director and department chairman during this period.
One of the most significant aspects of Prof. Marzouki's career is his involvement in postgraduate ENT education and departmental leadership.

His professional biography states that he served as chairman of the University of Jeddah ENT department from 2015–2017 and subsequently became chairman of the KAU ENT department.
