About
Maryam Mozafarinia is a rising leader in surgical education and medical pedagogy, with a research portfolio that bridges innovation, equity, and evidence-based training. Her work spans plastic surgery, neurosurgery, ophthalmic surgery, and interventional neuroradiology, focusing on how digital tools—such as podcasts, virtual patients, extended reality simulators, and generative AI—can transform how trainees learn. She has authored over a dozen peer-reviewed papers, including a landmark 25-year bibliometric study of Canadian plastic surgery research and a meta-analysis of 17,623 eyes examining extended reality simulators in ophthalmic training. Her research also addresses critical gaps in representation and inclusion, as seen in her work on hijab-wearing learners in the operating room. With studies evaluating TikTok content quality for shoulder dislocation and the impact of bilingual career orientation tools, Mozafarinia consistently pushes the boundaries of how medical education is delivered and assessed. Her contributions have been recognized through multiple presentations at national conferences, and her work is shaping how residency programs across Canada approach robotic surgery training, digital scribes, and near-peer tutoring.
