Current Role in Healthcare

I am a trained surgeon, having completed my education at Södersjukhuset, and I currently work within the Department of Upper Gastrointestinal Surgery and Abdominal Wall Surgery at the hospital. Following a comprehensive surgical training focused on emergency surgery and traumatology, I specialized in advanced endoscopy during the 2010s, including endoscopic ultrasound and ERCP, which I continue to pursue alongside my responsibilities at KI SÖS. 

Academic Awards

• Matts Halldin Prize, 2018
• KIPRIME Fellow, 2023

With a doctoral degree in basic sciences, a postdoctoral period in experimental traumatology, and a more senior research role in clinical studies, I possess broad experience in the field of medical research. Later years, I have focused on research within the field of medical education with the aim to develop work-based education and to increase inclusion and accessibility in higher education. Hence I`m leading a PhD project investigating the opportunities and challenges associated with interprofessional supervision—specifically, the supervision of students from a different professional background. This initiative aims to improve interprofessional learning in our healthcare education programs, create new opportunities for collaborative learning, and ultimately enhance teamwork in clinical settings.
