Research

Since 2011, I apply my knowledge on the field of insurance medicine, focusing
mainly on: Risk factors and consequences of sickness absence in relation to
specific diagnoses, primarily multiple sclerosis, traffic injuries, and
cancer, further on: Interactions between sickness absentees, healthcare
professionals, and social insurance staff.
