CV
Rebecca Tomaschek has a Bachelor’s degree in International Business and Social Sciences (Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences). She worked in public relations in healthcare and for a continuous medical education provider, before graduating the master program in Health Sciences and Policy (University of Lucerne). In her master thesis she developed the evidence base for a medical practice guideline on assessments and outcome measures used in initial rehabilitation of persons with spinal cord injury. She continued to work in the Swiss Paraplegic Center to support the establishment of two guidelines for the German-speaking medical society of Paraplegia. Since May 2019, she is a doctoral student and explores the collaboration between general practitioners and medical specialists in the Center of Primary and Community Care with Prof. Dr. Armin Gemperli and Dr. Stefan Essig.
