I graduated (MS) in Sept. 2007 and Im now involved in the research activity of the Institute of Communication and Health of the University of Lugano with the role of Graduate Research Assistant.
The topic of my research is Knowledge Translation in the Health Communication Domain the focus of the research is the analysis and modeling, from a theoretical and empirical point of view, of those communicative processes within health institutions that involve knowledge interchange (e.g. physician to patient, physician to physician, hospital to hospital, hospital to government etc), with a particular insight on the role played by communication technologies.
Also, there is a leading project supported by the Ente Ospedaliero Cantonale ticinese (EOC) on this research topic.
