Mari-Liis Kalima

I work at Aava as a general practitioner and occupational health doctor. I am conducting doctoral research on weight and work ability at the University of Helsinki.

My areas of interest include weight management, and I utilize modern research data in my work. This means an empathetic, non-judgmental approach, where the treatment plan is tailored to the patient’s life situation.

I enjoy acute care work and provide general practitioner consultations at Aava. I treat conditions such as inflammations, sudden pain, and injuries. I perform various minor procedures in my consultations, such as removing skin lesions, draining abscesses, and closing wounds.

I manage diabetes, asthma, infectious diseases, as well as cardiovascular diseases at a general practitioner level.

I’m an experienced occupational health specialist.

My field of work includes work ability and rehabilitation assessments, mental health, coping at work and supporting work capacity.

At appointments I have occupational health emphasis, i.e. attention is also paid to the effects on work ability. Diabetes, hypertension and other diseases are important to get under good control also from the point of view of work ability and copying!

In my work, i consider it important to influence working conditions in cooperation with the patient and employer representatives in order to reduce workload factors.
