Toos otolaryngology and audiometry clinic is a center
where ENT outpatients of all ages plus children suffering from various
hearing and speech impairments, are visited by a medical team comprised of an
ENT consultant, a general practitioner, an audiometrist, and a speech
therapist. I, as the general practitioner of the team, had to visit each
patient first, take a full history, perform a comprehensive physical
examination, and record all the findings in patient’s files before referring
them to the relevant section for further management. The common presentations
in the clinic were allergic symptoms, hearing problems, ear infections,
headache and facial pain, as well as infants with congenital/perinatal
hearing impairments who were considered for cochlear implantation with
further postoperative speech therapy. Feb. 04- Nov. 05 Full-time Genral

Complications of Mustard Gas Poisoning in Severely Intoxicated Iranian
Veterans in The Responsibilities:
My thesis was a collaborative research project on “Long-term
Complications of Mustard Gas Poisoning in Severely Intoxicated Iranian
Veterans in The Province of Khorasan.” This project
was funded by Mashhad University of Medical
Sciences with a grant of approximately $20,000 AUD and took approximately
five years to complete. I served as the coordinator of the research team;
and, along with nine specialist colleagues, we evaluated the respiratory,
cutaneous, ophthalmologic, neuromuscular, as well as the hematological
and immunological complications of sulfur mustard
poisoning in severely intoxicated Iranian veterans. This research led to a
number of publications in well-respected international journals with most of
the initial drafts of the papers being written by me during the
above-mentioned period. Mar.
2003- Sep. 2003 Intern, Imam Reza and Responsibilities: During my
internship, I passed the following clinical rotations: Internal medicine (3
months), Pediatrics (3 months), General Surgery (2
