My first blog
Ask yourself the following question.
What is important to you?
Your health?
Your family?
Your work?
A combination of the above?
Work and Health is an interesting medical specialty involving physicians who are focusing
on the human functioning in society, more specific in the labour field.
Our work is an important determinant for our identity. It is meaningfull in our lives,
it gives us a daily structure, it provides us with income, it stimulates us to learn new things,
to go new ways.
Patients encounter problems in their working life. Their sick leave can result in partial
or total working disability on the long run. Scores of them encounter participation problems
and are not able to catch up with our society that becomes more sophisticated.
I am educated both in health sciences and medicine and I am working in the field of
work and health. I am also an experienced teacher and mentor in medical education
on an academic level. I am about to start my blog on the field of Work and Health and I hope I can share
interesting view points with you.
