Tina is currently a PhD candidate at the Faculty of Health Sciences at Oslo Metropolitan University. Her professional background includes experience as a physiotherapist in primary healthcare, and she completed her Master’s degree in Physiotherapy at Oslo Metropolitan University in 2022. Prior to her PhD, she published research on hop testing in patients with recurrent patellar dislocations. Tina’s PhD research focuses on the barriers and facilitators to return to work for patients with musculoskeletal disorders. We also aim to develop a large language model-based conversational agent to train healthcare providers in delivering SVAI (Stratified Vocational Advice Intervention) to patients at high risk of long-term sick leave due to musculoskeletal disorders.
