Abdullah Hamdan
@abdullahhamdan1
Medical doctor and AI startup founder, building virtual patient simulation to modernize medical education and clinical decision-making.
What I'm looking for
I’m a medical doctor and an entrepreneur with a clear mission: help people learn medicine deeper, not superficially. I chose to build an AI start-up to close gaps I saw in the medical educational journey.
As the founder of Curans.org and a Clinical Educator & CEO, I develop an online medical education platform that uses a virtual patient simulator powered by AI. Our goal is to teach medical students how they should treat patients by practicing realistic care workflows.
Alongside my teaching work, I’ve worked across multiple clinical settings through medical and specialty rotations, strengthening my understanding of real patient needs. I also support medical cases creation and accreditation to make learning resources more valid and usable.
I contribute to research through submitted/first-author posters and systematic review work, including benchmarking AI reasoning models for clinically significant drug-drug interactions. I pair that scientific focus with practical training credentials like BLS/ALS, CPR/AED/First Aid, and Good Clinical Practice.
