Annika Lindh Falk

Associate Professor

To optimize healthcare services, interprofessional collaboration is essential. I am dedicated to enhancing the understanding of collaborative practices and interprofessional learning to ensure high-quality care.

Interprofessional education and collaboration in health care practices

My research interest concerns different aspects of professional and interprofessional education in health professional education as well as practice-based research in health care practices.

My research focuses on learning in higher education with a specific focus on interprofessional learning (IPE) in clinical practice.

My teaching at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences focuses on pedagogy and learning for students, staff and patients in health care contexts. At the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, I meet students in undergraduate programs within IPE. I am also course coordinator and teacher in Medical education on masters level.
