PhD student Profile

PhD student

I am a medical doctor currently doing a PhD in Public Health. In order to deliver good care to patients, one should be able to critically assess the medical literature available, and the best way of learning about scientific research is by doing it yourself. I am interested in vulnerable populations and in improving the effectiveness of healthcare, which encouraged me to focus my current research on health literacy and the communication between patients and healthcare professionals.
