As a professor, I lead a research group (health management) that examines management and leadership, services, and organisations in health and social care. The research focuses on sustainable leadership and services in digitised and modern health and social care, as well as human-centeredness.
The goal is to produce high-quality and socially impactful research in collaboration with local, national, and international actors and the service system to meet the needs of health and social services, leadership and management, and higher education.
I am responsible for the Master's degree program in health management at the University of Oulu. I supervise and teach doctoral candidates and master's students. I am acting as a line manager for the teachers and researchers in the health management team.
