In 2001 I started studying medicine at the University of Groningen. After developing a foundation in surgery, emergency care and intensive care medicine, I started training as an anesthesiologist at the University Medical Center in Groningen (UMCG) in 2014. There I came into contact with pain medicine, which was a very interesting field for me, with many opportunities for development and more direct patient contact compared to anesthesia. To alternate with working in a hospital, I also started a cosmetic clinic in 2011 where I worked as a cosmetic doctor myself. The dynamics of setting up and developing a clinic is very motivating for me. That is how I ended up at the Acibadem IMC, where I can help further develop the pain outpatient clinic. I will also be in the operating rooms practicing anesthesiology. Other than that, I am also working on research into chronic pain in collaboration with the UMCG.
