He completed his MD at the KU Leuven and his MPH/MBA dual degree at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School. Previously, Dominique completed the Paul Farmer Global Surgery Fellowship at the Program in Global Surgery and Social Change at Harvard Medical School. His past research focus and expertise lies within National Surgical, Obstetric, and Anaesthesia Plans (NSOAPs) in Pakistan and West-Africa, and scaling cardiac surgery services in low- and middle-income countries.

    Dominique has introduced the concept of global cardiac surgery to literature and established the organisation Global Cardiac Surgery to advocate for the nearly six billion people worldwide without access to cardiac surgical care.
