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.
