I was born and raised in Iran; since I was a child, I have always been looking for opportunities to learn and build a better version of myself which led me to go to medical school. After graduating from medical school, I worked as an emergency physician, where I got to work in a multidisciplinary setting and discovered my passion for radiology. Thereafter I decided to move to the US to expand my knowledge in the field and was fortunate to join the research team at BIDMC and to work under the supervision of Dr. xxx. This experience has allowed me the opportunity to expand my knowledge of conducting research in the field while getting familiarized with the US health care system and work environment. In addition, I have had the privilege of working remotely under the supervision of Dr. xxx and exploring my passion in more depth.
Outside of medicine, I enjoy a wide variety of activates such as travelling, spending time with friends and family and activities for my personal development such as yoga which helps me to be resilient and work efficiently under pressure.

I graduated from college and obtained a chemistry degree. I chose this degree partly because of my love of science but also because I always dreamed of being a Medical Doctor. I felt that being a doctor will enable me to serve and give back; due to some profound experiences I had growing up in multiple countries in Africa. I saw how a lack of access to healthcare led folks within that population to suffer from treatable diseases that could have been either prevented or treated with good access to healthcare. With that experience, I saw the importance of having a family medicine doctor. I am keen on being a family medicine doctor where I will do my part in serving the community. Outside of medicine, I enjoy watching and playing soccer. Soccer taught me that every member of the team had a specific job to perform using a unique skill set, and team success was only achievable through strong leadership, collaborations, and trust. Those skills are useful within a healthcare setting as well.

I am an international medical graduate. I was born and raised in a rural part of a small country called Nepal. Being born close to the Indian border I was able to experience different languages and cultures and that helped me to broaden my perspective of life. I come from a small family with my parent, wife, and younger brother.
My interest in medicine started to develop during my childhood when my father was diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis. As the illness crippled my father, I was there to watch his misery and suffering. But with the appropriate treatment and compassion from one of the modest doctors, he was able to recover. This served as the catalyst that motivated me to pursue a career in the field of medicine.
I got lucky to crack the MBBS entrance exam provided by the Ministry of Education to study medicine under full scholarship, which is considered one of the toughest exams in Nepal. Following graduation, I worked in private and public hospitals mostly in resource-limited settings. I have rotated around various hospitals and clinics in the USA, which has helped me get familiar with their healthcare system.
Just a little about myself outside of academics. I am the kind of person who loves to play and watch cricket. I do love watching movies and web series especially related to science fiction. I have recently developed an interest in cooking. That is all about me.
