Who is Dr. Shakib

Mohammad Reza Rajabi Shakib, MD, Physician and journalist, earned his MD in 2005 from the School of Medicine in Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran, but long before that, specialized journalism as a professional in the field of health had begun.

In fact, Health Journalism, still unknown in the Iranian media, had been kept as an agenda for Reza.

In this direction, social group secretary of Jame-jam newspaper and editor of the weekly newspaper Hakim (Special attachment of the Jame-jam newspaper for health science), the first editor-in chief of the Salamat weekly, the largest weekly in Iran, the first editor of the Department of Health and Science in Hamshahri newspaper (the largest newspaper in Iran and the first newspaper with a dedicated health team established for news pages and feature) and the managing director and editor-in chief of Sibe-sabz magazine, is the highlights of his career, until 2010.

Since then, Dr Shakib, who for the first time in the Iranian press, founded the “sexual health” page in Salamat weekly, was honored to get mastered at the Family Health Clinic in Shahed University, Tehran, Iran, in the supervising of Dr Seyyed Kazem Forootan, the professor of Urology and Sexual Medicine. And then he strated clinical work in sex therapy, that has still not recognized in Iran.

Need of people, who knew almost nothing about sex and their physical and mental health was threatened from this ignorance and poverty of knowledge, and sometimes their family foundations are collapsing, and on the other hand, prejudice and narrow-mindedness in the field of sex therapy and sexual health education, led Dr shakib, returned to practice and preferred sexual health to health journalism. Since then, most of his time is devoted to the study and writing and clinical practice in this field.

Dr Shakib, in addition to many articles in the field of Sexual Health in the press, is writing two books, “Comprehensive Guide to Sexual Health for Young Couples” and “Treating Sexual Dysfunction for General Practitioners”.
