A native Peorian, John says he became a cardiologist because it allowed him to put his interest in science and medicine to good use- helping people who need it most by taking a critical situation and improving it.

John received his M.D. from Southern Illinois University School of Medicine. He completed his internship and residency at Northwestern University where he participated in intravascular ultrasound research endeavors, and completed his fellowship at Cleveland Clinic. Since joining HeartCare Midwest in 1996, Dr. Rashid has served as a clinical assistant professor at the University Of Illinois College Of Medicine at Peoria.
