I finished rheumatology residency in 2016 and since then I have been working as a rheumatologist at the West Tallinn Central Hospital. I chose the specialty of a rheumatologist when I was studying at high school. I am interested in all aspects of rheumatology and I am constantly trying to improve my professional skills. I’m happy to train and educate both family doctors and patients.
