PhD-student
University Medical Center Utrecht, Utrecht University, Utrecht, the Netherlands
Linda Joosten, MD, works at the Julius Center for Health Sciences and Primary Care of the University Medical Center Utrecht, Utrecht University, Utrecht, the Netherlands.
She studied medicine at Utrecht University and obtained her medical degree in 2016. In January 2017 she started her PhD programme at the Julius Center. The focus of her research is to evaluate whether the impact of a strategy aimed at switching INR-guided vitamin K antagonist management to a NOAC-based treatment strategy (non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants) is superior in terms of the occurrence of major or clinically relevant non-major bleeding complications in frail elderly patients with atrial fibrillation (FRAIL-AF study). This multicenter pragmatic randomised controlled clinical trial is supervised by dr. Geert-Jan Geersing, dr. Frans Rutten and prof. dr. Arno Hoes. In 2021, Linda Joosten finished the Postgraduate Master of Epidemiology at Utrecht University.
Currently, she combines her PhD programme with the General Practice Vocational Training Programme in Utrecht.
