About Author
I’m Dr. Ali Moosavi, an internationally trained physician who has navigated the pathways to practise medicine in several countries, including the UK and Australia, and this blog is mostly about my personal experiences and opinions. Having faced both the challenges and opportunities of working abroad, I started BorderlessMD to share what I’ve learned along the way. Because of my background, the languages I speak (Turkish, Persian, Swedish, and English), and my love of travel and different cultures, I often write from my own perspective, not just about medicine itself, but about practising in different healthcare systems and settings, and about the human side of being a doctor wherever you are.
