He earned his Medical Doctorate in 2020, just in time to begin working in the Intensive Care Unit during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, before embarking on his residency. He successfully defended his PhD in 2024, with research focused on intraoperative consciousness and anesthetic depth. Dr. Tasbihgou integrates clinical practice with research and looks forward to sharing various experiences with TIVA and TCI, informed in part by his work at one of the leading hospitals in the Netherlands utilizing TIVA.
