Lecturer

I am an occupational therapist, teacher and researcher. I work mostly with education of future occupational therapists. My research area have a focus on cultural competence for Health Care professionals, for instance occupational therapists.

Cultural competence for Health care professionals in Sweden

My research focuses on cultural competence for healthcare personnel, both through instrument development and through the development of an educational program. The resulting instrument can be used both clinically and in research. It is called the Cultural Competence Assessment Instrument – Swedish version (CCAI-S). It has also resulted in an educational prototype for personnel to develop cultural competence.

Teaching at Linköping University

I teach at the Occupational Therapy programme, undergraduate level, and in occupational therapy at the advanced level as well as within the Master's program in medical science with a focus on E-health. I have a lot of experience of supervising in tutorial groups and I am coordinating teacher for areas related to diversity, cultural competence, accessibility, participation, entrepreneurship and design.
