Biography
Dr. Fatemeh Ramazani is an Otolaryngologist–Head and Neck Surgeon with subspecialty training in Laryngology and Bronchoesophagology, joining the University of Calgary following fellowship training at the University of Michigan. Her clinical focus encompasses the full spectrum of laryngeal and airway disorders, including subglottic stenosis, voice disorders, and complex airway reconstruction, as well as swallowing disorders and pediatric laryngology.
Dr. Ramazani holds a Master of Medical Education from the University of Dundee and brings a deep scholarly commitment to surgical training and health professions education. She has designed, implemented, and evaluated simulation-based curricula for medical students and residents, developed validated assessment tools for laryngeal surgery, and led initiatives to bridge educational gaps between otolaryngology and primary care across Alberta. She serves as Professionalism Advisor for the Undergraduate Medical Education program at the Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary, and currently holds the role of Associate Editor (Education) for the Journal of Otolaryngology–Head & Neck Surgery.
Her research program spans two interconnected domains. In laryngology, she investigates the pathophysiology and management of idiopathic subglottic stenosis, with a particular interest in understanding disease mechanisms and optimizing clinical outcomes. In surgical education, her work encompasses curriculum development, program evaluation, and surgical simulation, with the goal of building evidence-based frameworks that strengthen competency-driven training across otolaryngology.
Dr. Ramazani is the recipient of numerous honours recognizing both her research and her leadership, including the Kristin Sivertz Resident Leadership Award from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, the Poliquin Research Competition Award from the Canadian Society of Otolaryngology, and the HELIOS Award for Fellowship Training from the University of Calgary. She is an active contributor to national committees at the Royal College and the Canadian Society of Otolaryngology.
