About me
I studied medicine and my MD thesis (2001) was about medical education. It was a starting point to create the "Introduction to Clinical Medicine" course in the medical program.
Then I followed Medical Education at the master's level at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. At the same time, I was involved in some educational development projects like designing extracurricular activities for medical students, eLearning, and continuing medical education.
Later, I got a scholarship from my country to follow my training in educational technology and I chose Karolinska Institutet. My Ph.D. thesis was about using virtual patients in medical education. Link to thesis

There I co-supervised one Ph.D. and one Master's student.We came back to Sweden in 2020 and I started to work as a university lecturer and educational developer at the unit for teaching and learning at KI.
