The Nazarian Institute was born out of a growing urgency: in an era where information travels faster than truth, education must evolve to meet the moment. As a physician, Dr. Sheila Nazarian has seen firsthand how misinformation - especially in health, science, and public discourse - can shape decisions with real-world consequences. What began as a commitment to patient education expanded into a broader mission: to create accessible, engaging, and credible educational content that empowers individuals to think critically, question responsibly, and seek truth in a noisy digital landscape.
Today, the Institute stands at the intersection of education, storytelling, and media literacy. Through modern platforms and compelling narratives, we aim to equip communities with the tools to discern fact from fiction and to elevate voices grounded in evidence and integrity. We believe that education is not just a resource - it is a responsibility. By investing in media literacy and supporting initiatives that prioritize truth, we are building a future where informed individuals can navigate complexity with confidence and clarity.
Dr. Sheila Nazarian is a board certified plastic surgeon, educator, and communicator dedicated to advancing truth through education.
Recognizing the growing influence of social media on public understanding, she has expanded her work beyond traditional settings to focus on digital education and combatting misinformation, particularly around antisemitism and global narratives.
We live in a time where information is abundant - but accuracy is far from guaranteed. social media has become the primary source of news for millions.
While this democratizes information, it also accelerates the spread of misinformation- oversimplified or distorted narratives. Emotion-driven discourseWhen people are misinformed, society becomes divided and misled.
Education - accessible, engaging, and factual - is the solution.
