Welcome to my page!

I'm Valérie Drost, a PhD researcher at Erasmus University Medical Center in Rotterdam. Being part of a collaborative project with Catharina Hospital, I am primarily based in Eindhoven where I work on several investigator initiated research projects.

I have a background encompassing MSc degrees in health sciences and health psychology, and have gained valuable experience working as researcher and project manager in education innovation and quality assurance in academia.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, I returned to health care. Working in the hospital environment and med-tech made me pursue my passion to do research.

My primary goal as a researcher is to drive the field forward by enhancing the quality and accessibility of healthcare, ultimately improving the lives of patients. In the years to come, I am dedicated grow as a researcher and help the cardiac care field to move forward. To accomplish this, I actively collaborate with scholars and professionals across various disciplines, both on a national and international scale.
