Marco's expertise focuses primarily on clinical learning environments, mentorship, the organizational transition of newcomer nurses, and the dynamics of work and organizational psychology related to nursing science, nursing environments, and human resources management in healthcare settings. His research vision is multidisciplinary, integrating nursing science with the theoretical and methodological approaches of work and organizational psychology to deepen the understanding of nursing phenomena.

Marco's academic journey includes a Bachelor in Nursing, a Master in Nursing Science, and a Ph.D. in Work and Organizational Psychology.
