And, yes, our department has quite a rich history of primary care research.\u00a0 One of the first professors in primary care, Frans Huygen<\/a>, was at our department and was quite a famous general practitioner who, for the first time, showed the epidemiology of symptoms and diseases in primary care. He worked in the north of Nijmegen, exactly where my practice is now, which is quite an honour. And, Frans Huygen was very important for our department and I think he still is because much of his thinking is still around.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Chris van Weel (who has also been interviewed on MedicsVoices- see\u00a0here<\/a>)<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
