About Mehrdad Anvar
Physician and health data systems developer, working where clinical medicine meets quantitative statistics and web engineering.
Research goals
Methodology and systems engineering
Statistical modeling, regression analysis, and computational data processing to identify trauma predictors and infection risk factors.
Turning clinical hypotheses into structured protocols, peer-reviewed publications, and web-accessible clinical platforms.
Academic roots and medical training
Shiraz University of Medical Sciences
I grew up in an academic household in southwest Iran; my mother led a university school of nursing, and that is where my interest in physiology and health systems began. I studied biology and then completed eight years of medical education at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. During my clinical rotations I saw that improving health outcomes depends on population-level work, not only bedside care: disease surveillance and practical tools for clinicians make the difference.
Scope: medicine and data science
Clinical data and outcome analysis
Analysis of administrative datasets covering more than 47,000 trauma patients, to evaluate mortality trends, head and thoracic injury risk factors, and the bimodal shape of trauma mortality curves.
Clinical software and study tools
I built FMProC Prep, a free question bank for the FMProC exam: 170 questions, a rationale for every option, no payment. The qliniql suite, a clinical drug reference and licensing exam question bank, is in development. More on projects.
Quality and community health
Co-authoring evaluations of healthcare quality metrics, including the KQCAH questionnaire and the impact of hospital ISO certification, plus community health survey analytics.
