About me

She has been a strategic education developer at Medical Case Centre (MCC) at Karolinska Institutet since 2012 and are responsible for MCC:s educational programmes. Teresa has a considerable experience in implementation of interactive learning in courses, both in case based learning as well as other interactive activities both in physical meetings and through learning platforms.
Teresa Sörö always try to make a difference. In her early years as a nurse she worked with children with liver-, kidney or cancer diseases and the challenge was to make their days at the hospital as good as possible. After post graduate medical education (PGME) she started to work at a pediatric intensive care unit and the focus included the parents even more. As an educator focus has now shifted to students or faculty instead of sick children and their parents. "I’m still trying to make a difference, and my aim is to make the best conditions for learners with the ultimate goal of having great healthcare professionals securing patients health" she says.
After a clinical break for some years she has recently got back to perioperative medicine and intensive care in Karolinska University Hospital as a strategic educational developer. There she works with faculty and medical educators that are involved in UGME, PGME and CME.
