So what?

I was a general practitioner in Iran for a decade, at the same time I was a civil society activist with focus on Environment and Sustainable development.
Now I have a great chance to study at one of the distinguished schools in the United States. I am a student again and I appreciate this unique opportunity. The fact is that for some reason you can’t find a lot of people from Middle East in my position, studying at the Doctor of Public Health program with international health concentration.

I learn continuously at the school with friends and faculties. I think I have a responsibility to share my knowledge and understanding with interested people. Perhaps you may find a lot of people who are interested in these issues, but they don’t have chance to actually take an academic program like I did. I believe sharing information is a responsibility specifically when you have access to information in the North. On the other hand it helps me to put my understanding on window, so people can edit my learning.

I am glad instead doing practice, I work on health issues, obviously I’ll make less money, but I can help more people if I apply my learning in the right time and way.
I will try to write continuously with focus on Health Sciences with a practice based approach. Also I will write about living in Boston from a Middle Eastern angle.

Thanks for supporting me in this journey
