My name is Aleksandar and I am a medical doctor and independent public health researcher with more than 10 years of experience in the public health field. My areas of interest include clinical coding, population based health management, health care emergencies, drug use, epidemiology and health economy.
These are some of the things I have made and done so far.
They will probably come back to haunt me in a few years’ time.
