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
After my Ph.D. in 2017, we moved to Iran and I started to work at the medical education department as an assistant professor for about 2.5 years. 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.

I did research in some different fields of medical education.

Now, I am interested in summative assessment in medical education.

I have taught courses on program evaluation and teaching methodology at the master's and PhD levels at Isfahan University of Medical Sciences.

Currently, I am the course director for these 2 courses at the KI Teacher Training Center:

And a facilitator in this great course: 

I also create webpages for KI teachers to learn more about 

We at the unit for teaching and learning at KI develop some workshops as well:

• Workshop: Improving multiple choice question generation with Generative AI
• How to make the assessment more ‎inclusive?‎
• Alternative assessments: Oral examinations and Objective Structured Practical ‎Examinations
