Fatima Rodrigues completed her Master's Degree in Pathology of the Respiratory System in 2002 and her PhD in Medicine in 2016 at the NOVA Medical School, NOVA University of Lisbon. She has worked in research, clinical practice and teaching. She was an invited assistant of Pulmonology since 2004, first at the NOVA Medical School, and since 2012 at the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Lisbon, Portugal, where she is currently an invited assistant professor since 2017. Rodrigues is a research member of the Environmental Health Institute (ISAMB) and Associated Laboratory Terra. She is a graduate hospital assistant in Pulmonology and has been coordinating the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Unit of the Pneumology Service, Santa Maria Local Health Unit, Pulido Valente Hospital, Lisbon, since 2007, where she is responsible for Pulmonary Rehabilitation internships for Pulmonology interns. Rodrigues also coordinated the multidisciplinary team of Day Hospital for the Respiratory Insufficient patients at Pulido Valente Hospital and coordinated the respiratory function laboratory at the Lisboa Ocidental Local Health Unit, Egas Moniz Hospital for 7 years. Rodrigues is currently an active member of the European Respiratory Society and the Portuguese Society of Pulmonology, where she co-coordinated the Portuguese Society of Pneumology's Working Committee on Respiratory Pathophysiology for 3 years. Rodrigues is a Consultant to the Directorate-General for Health in the area of Pulmonary Rehabilitation and an Associate Editor of the Pulmonology Journal of the Portuguese Society of Pneumology. She has published 50 articles in peer-reviewed journals, 4 published books and 10 book chapters. Rodrigues has received 21 distinctions and awards for her work. Her areas of research interest have been respiratory pathophysiology, in particular cardiorespiratory exercise testing, pulmonary rehabilitation, telerehabilitation and physical activity. She has carried out studies in Portugal on the epidemiology of COPD, currently integrating the BOLD (Burden Of Obstructive Lung Disease) international Collaborative Research Group.
