I completed a one-month clinical shadowing experience under the mentorship of Dr. Nima Abbasi-Ghadi, during which I gained substantial surgical exposure and insight into the daily practices and responsibilities of a surgeon. This period allowed me the privilege to participate directly in surgical procedures through scrubbing in and assisting, further enhancing my practical skills and understanding of surgical protocols. Additionally, alongside Dr. Abbasi-Ghadi, I embarked on the preliminary stages of a research paper, contributing to the academic and clinical knowledge base.

• Over a period of two to three weeks, I had the opportunity to undertake a clinical placement in a small city in Iran, where I shadowed a radiologist. This experience provided me with a foundational introduction to diagnostic imaging techniques, specifically focusing on ultrasound and X-ray modalities

• During a week-long rotation through various wards, I garnered invaluable experience regarding the multifaceted aspects of medical practice, enhancing my understanding and skills in patient care from the perspective of a physician.
