• Survey of Iranian American Physicians, Dentists and Pharmacist in Southern California

  • We, sociologists at UCLA’s Department of Sociology. We are acquiring information about physicians, dentists and pharmacist of Iranian birth or ancestry who practice medicine in Southern California. This information will permit an academic research article that bears on the integration of foreign medical practitioners in the USA. As you are no doubt aware, the USA depends heavily on foreign medical practitioners, but you may not be aware that very little is known about their medical practice, their experience or their skills. Our research will help to remedy this situation, Our research has been endorsed by the “The Academy of Persian American Physicians”.
