Short presentation

I am a pharmacist from the University of Uppsala, with a PhD degree in Social Pharmacy from the University of Oslo. My research interest are within 1) Patient‐Pharmacist Communication 2) Patient’s perceptive on medicine use 3) Pharmacy education and pharmacy practice research. As a teacher I want to arouse students' interest and curiosity in learning for the rest of their professional lives. Thereby our pharmacy students can contribute to a better use of medicines.
