Oct 2022 – Present.  Seattle, Washington, United States

 

Researcher, Non Communicable Diseases Research Center (NCDRC)

Aug 2018 – Nov 2022, 4 years 4 months  Tehran, Iran

As Dr. Farzadfar (NCDRC’s chair) says, non-communicable disease research center aims at serving policymakers and experts in the health system through providing solutions, evidence, and applying innovative methods.

Medical Intern  Tehran University of Medical Sciences

Sept 2019 – March 2019 1 year 7 months.   Tehran, Iran.

Medical education in Iran is a seven and a half year program in which the last 18 months is Medical internship. As a medical intern, we see patients every day and engage in treating common conditions (like hypertension, diabetes, and uncomplicated infections). We also get to do simple medical procedures (like suturing, catheterizing, and inserting NG tubes). This experience has helped me use my medical knowledge, improve my communication skills, and prepare for my future job. Also, it has been an enriching experience since we get to play a role in reducing people’s pain and be there for them in the time of their need.
