Jeg er lege utdannet i Spania (1995) og har vært spesialist i allmennmedisin i Norge siden 2003. Jeg leder Pandemisenteret ved Universitetet i Bergen siden 2020 og er professor ved Institutt for global helse og samfunnsmedisin (IGS).

Siden 2008 har jeg forsket på innvandrerhelse og har publisert over hundre og tretti fagfellevurderte artikler på feltet. Jeg er også forfatter av boken Migrant Health: A Primary Care Perspective. Gjennom hele karrieren har jeg hatt bred erfaring med samarbeid på tvers av fakulteter, institusjoner og ulike grupper i befolkningen.

Jeg har utviklet og ledet Pandemisenteret siden etableringen i 2020. Senteret er administrativt forankret ved IGS, men fungerer som et tverrfaglig knutepunkt med representanter fra alle de sju fakultetene ved UiB. De siste årene har forskningen min særlig vært rettet mot tverrfaglig samarbeid, involvering av ikke-akademiske miljøer og forståelsen av sosial ulikhet i helse i et pandemisk perspektiv.

Jeg leder blant annet det NFR-finansierte prosjektet Integrering for helse, som bygger videre på prosjektet Endringer i helse- og helsebehov blant syriske flyktninger på vei til Norge. Jeg deltar også som partner i flere andre NFR-prosjekter, blant annet EqualPart (On Equal Grounds? Migrant Women’s Participation in Labour and Labour Related Activities). Fra 2024 er jeg i tillegg partner i det EU-finansierte UniHealth-prosjektet.

 

Gjennom min tilknytning til UiB har jeg undervist i en rekke temaer allmennmedisin, blant annet klinisk konsultasjon, ØNH i allmennpraksis, svangerskapsomsorg, møte med pasienter fra andre kulturer, narrativ medisin og uheldige hendelser. De siste årene har undervisningen min hovedsakelig dreid seg om migrasjon og helse samt pandemirelaterte problemstillinger, og jeg har utviklet egne PhD- og emnekurs innen begge områdene.

Siden 1999 har jeg også vært foredragsholder på kurs for medisinstudenter, sykepleierstudenter og leger i både Spania og Norge.
