Onderzoek
Ik geloof dat het absoluut noodzakelijk is om op de hoogte te blijven van het huidige onderzoek naar vulvovaginale gezondheid, seksuele gezondheid en chronische gynaecologische pijn. Naast het op de hoogte blijven van publicaties van mijn collega’s, investeer ik een groot deel van mijn tijd in klinisch onderzoek.
