Medical Director Child and Adolescent and Adult Psychiatrist Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences George Washington University School of Medicine and Behavioral Sciences Education and Teaching Background After attending one of Iran’s prestigious medical schools, I completed an adult psychiatry residency at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond. Later, I went on to complete a Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Fellowship at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. There, I learned about child development and the impact childhood experiences can have well into adulthood. During my education as a whole, I received dual training in child, adolescent, and adult psychiatry. I’ve also been fortunate to work in George Washington University’s Psychiatry Department since 2014, when I accepted the position of Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences to teach a course on child psychiatry.
