My professional background:
- After studying Medicine at the Medical University of Vienna I completed my training as a pulmonologist at the first internal pulmonological department of Otto Wagner Hospital, the Kaiserin Elizabeth Hospital and Sozialmedizinisches Zentrum Ost in Vienna.
- From 2012 to 2020 I worked at Franziskus Spital, where I was appointed chief pulmonological consultant in 2015.

In this period we were also able to increase the number of pulmonological beds, bronchoscopies, sleep lab positions and establish a post for a pulmonological resident.
