Hi, I’m Hossein.

I’m Hossein Akbarialiabad, a physician based in California.

I’m interested in the people behind medicine: how we learn, how we care for one another, and how place and circumstance shape health. I also spend time thinking about technology and what it changes in our work.

This is a personal notebook. It gathers global health reflections, some teaching, and thoughts I’ve shared elsewhere, with space for new writing as it comes.

The older pieces keep their original publication dates and link back to where they first appeared. They reflect what I was thinking at the time.

The views shared here are my own.
