Dr. Damon Tojjar

Before his work in drug development and health technology, Dr. Tojjar trained and worked as a physician across the full arc of clinical medicine. He earned his M.D. at Lund University, whose medical school had the lowest acceptance rate in Sweden at the time of his admission, and achieved top-percentile results on the national medical board examinations, with all four oral clinical case examinations (internal medicine, surgery, psychiatry, and family medicine) rated Utmarkt (Outstanding), the highest mark.

He completed a clinical internship (Forskar-AT) at Skane University Hospital in Lund and Malmo, rotating through the emergency department, surgery (general, orthopedic, hand, breast, and melanoma), anesthesia and intensive care, urology, internal medicine, psychiatry, and primary care, and was the only graduate of his class offered a Skane University Hospital internship immediately, through a competitive interview. He served as a junior doctor in orthopedic surgery and as a physician-scientist in the Department of Endocrinology, Sweden's oldest, combining in-ward and outpatient endocrine and diabetes care with research.

As a family physician in Swedish primary care he integrated outpatient practice with clinical research in diabetes and chronic-disease management, and he provided pro bono medical care for underprivileged people and refugees. His formal training evaluations were consistently rated Utmarkt (Outstanding), with particular strength in patient interaction, clinical examination, and diagnostic reasoning.

This page describes Dr. Tojjar's clinical history. Today he works as a physician-scientist and reference voice, explaining and evaluating clinical evidence, and does not provide individual medical advice.
