Based on different theoretical and methodological perspectives, as well as thematic focus and data production, the majority of my scientific production falls into these areas:

• Recruiting and retaining health professionals in rural areas
• Organizing and financing healthcare
• Health and inequality

A large part of my research production is based in primary healthcare and a lot of it concerns general practice. I have broad methodological competence and skills that I have used to shed light on many different research questions. As a statistician, I have great insight into quantitative data collection and analysis methods. Through my research I have also acquired skills in qualitative data production and analyses. I also take responsibility for the development of the research fields I am involved in and do peer reviews for various journals.

For the time beeing, I'm member of the Editorial Board in the journal BMC Health Services Research.
