The US, especially Oklahoma, is home to immigrants who play a vital role in shaping the healthcare landscape. Dr. Parisa Ghasemi is one such immigrant, making significant contributions to healthcare research. In this first episode of The GROklahoma Podcast for the year, we speak with Dr. Ghasemi, a physician, researcher, and lab administrator for The MORE Lab at the Health Promotion and Research Center (HPRC), where she focuses on cancer and lupus outcomes.

Dr. Ghasemi shares her personal and professional journey—from her upbringing in Iran and the support of her family in pursuing medicine, to adapting to a new culture and navigating the challenges of starting over in the US. She discusses her transition from clinical practice to research, the struggles of being an immigrant professional, and the importance of adaptability and resilience.

As a physician, Dr. Ghasemi reflects on the emotional challenge of shifting from patient care to research, noting that “the satisfaction that you feel right after helping a patient in clinical work isn't present in research.” Yet, her passion for making a broader impact through research continues to drive her forward.

In this special episode, we also reflect on the GROklahoma Podcast itself, exploring how it has fostered connections, amplified voices, and highlighted the incredible work being done in Oklahoma’s healthcare and research sectors. Dr. Ghasemi offers her feedback on the podcast and shares valuable advice for those considering similar career transitions.

Tune in to hear how Dr. Ghasemi’s inspiring journey can resonate with anyone facing similar challenges. This episode marks a fitting start to our podcast for the year, celebrating the resilience, growth, and hope that define the immigrant experience in healthcare. Wishing you all a Happy New Year and a year filled with growth and collaboration!
