Teaching Experience
I have been employed at the Department of Health and Nursing Science since 2005 after finishing a Master of Education. My primary task then was to develop and hold course for nurses in clinical supervision on a bachelor level and hold interdisciplinary courses for health care practitioners who wanted to upgrade their basic education to a bachelor level. Related to this, I held a position as head of the clinical part of the nursing education from 2008 to 2011.
Since 2014, I have been responsible for developing, arranging and hold an interdisciplinary master education in health science. The first students started in autumn 2014 and in spring 2018, all together 15 students obtained a master degree.
