I have joined the Association for Medical Education in Finland (AMEF) to further develop my skills as a medical educator following my Specialist Qualification in Medical Education. I look forward to deepening my expertise and strengthening my professional network with medical educators across Finland.

Scientific Independence and the Value of the Unknown

Today, Turun Sanomat published my opinion piece on the independence of science and its importance to society. The value of scientific research cannot always be anticipated—many of the most transformative discoveries have emerged from research whose future impact was impossible to foresee. Safeguarding scientific independence is therefore not only essential for scientific progress, but also an important foundation of an open and informed society.

Public Consultation on Legislation Concerning Violence

I had the opportunity to participate in the public consultation process on the implementation of the EU Directive on combating violence against women and domestic violence, contributing my comments and professional perspective to the working group’s proposal. As a physician, psychotherapist and researcher, I consider it important that legislation is informed by clinical expertise, research evidence, and the experiences of those working closely with patients and families. Public consultation is a valuable part of the democratic process, providing an opportunity for expertise to contribute to the development of evidence-informed legislation.
