Jag är verksam som sjuksköterska vid hjärtcentrum, Norrlands universitetssjukhus och anknuten forskare vid Institutionen för folkhälsa och klinisk medicin. Min forskning är huvudsakligen epidemiologisk och fokuserar på riskfaktorer och tidiga markörer för att upptäcka och förebygga utveckling av hjärt-kärlsjukdom i ett tidigt skede. Data för min forskning kommer främst från stora populationsbaserade studier såsom SCAPIS, OLIN-studierna och MONICA.

Forskningsprojekt

15 juni 2022 till 31 december 2030

Riskmarkörer för framtida hjärt- kärl- och lungsjukdom.

Jag undervisar sedan 2006 vid läkarprogrammets termin 5 på kursen Kliniska undersökningsmetoder. Min undervisning är i huvudsak fokuserad på kliniska färdigheter såsom hjärtlungräddning, hjärtstatus samt artärgasprovtagning.

Jag ansvarar sedan 2011 för planering och genomförande av den kliniska examinationen Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) på läkarprogrammet termin 6.

Relaterat till min undervisning har jag författat två lärobokskapitel i boken "Kliniska färdigheter: mötet mellan patient och läkare" (Studentlitteratur, 2021).
