Biography

After graduating from Medicine at Urmia University of Medical Science in 1999, I worked as a general practitioner in public and private sectors of Iranian health care system for nearly four years. In March 2004, I started to work on my master at the iBMG department of ÌÇÐÄÖ±²¥ in the Netherlands. My master thesis focused on conceptualizing the impact of computerized physician order entry on clinical workflow and was later published in JAMIA (2009;16:539 –549). After July 2006, I continued the subject with a couple of field studies at Erasmus Medical Center as my PhD research. I defended my PhD thesis entitled "a fit between clinical workflow and health care information technology: not waiting for Godot but making the journey" in December 2009. Since February 2010, I have been working as assistant professor of Medical Informatics at Urmia University of Medical Science and also collaborating with the Health Care Governance group on academic activities.
