I am Amin Azzam, I have an MD and an MA, and I went to medical school at the

Clinical Research Training Program. After completing medical school, I participated in the research track of the general adult psychiatry residency program at the University of California, San Francisco Department of Psychiatry. I then completed a two-year research fellowship in psychiatric genetics at the San Francisco Veterans' Administration Medical Center, before discovering that my true passion was in medical education. After I decided 27 years of formal education just wasn't enough, I went back to school for a two-year masters' degree in education, at the University of California, Berkeley, focusing on quantitative methods and evaluation. I am now a Associate Clinical Professor at both the Berkeley and San Francisco campuses of the University of California
. My research interests include exploring the efficacy of various instructional approaches in stimulating medical students' acquisition, retention, and application of content knowledge in their evolving roles as clinicians.
