Field of expertise, major interests, and consultation topics:

Trained as a physician specialising in General Internal Medicine in Switzerland, I currently work part-time as an attending physician in the Medical Polyclinic of the University Hospital in Basel. Additionally, I work part-time in the Department of Medical Communication, where we focus on undergraduate and postgraduate teaching as well as research. My research centres on communication and decision-making in hospital care, with a particular emphasis on critical care, emergency medicine, and end-of-life care. Through my work, I aim to enhance physician-patient communication by gathering evidence-based insights. I believe this research can bridge the gap between theory and practice, leading to improved patient experiences and better-informed medical decisions.
