The team

The PETRA research group is a group that takes pride in collaborating with all and any researches which contributes to research within our area of focus. This means that we have many collaborations, and thus many members, of the PETRA group, some of which who works with us for a while on one or a couple of projects, and some of which who are a part of multiple projects.

Board of PETRA

The "Board of PETRA", if we can call it that, are the members who control the PETRA organization itself. Most of the people here have a strong engagement in multiple of the projects, but more essentially, they governs the PETRA group and make organization-level decisions. The members are listed in alphabetic order.

Ronny Gunnarsson

Ronny is emeritus professor in Family Medicine/General Practice at University of Gothenburg, Sweden. He worked in Sweden as general practitioner for 30 years. During these years he engaged in research with topics usually found within primary health care. The first area of interest was upper respiratory tract infections with focus on the sore throat. A consequence was further research about the clinical value of diagnostic tests. Other areas of research interest is the transition from childhood to adulthood, whiplash-associated disorders (WAD), doctor’s behavior, assessment of the consultation, low back pain and supervision of PhD students. A curriculum vitae with a publication list is found here.
