Education
Bachelor:
I teach 1st, 2nd and 3rd year students Technical Medicine. In lectures and practical tutorials I teach everything related to medical consults and communication skills. It entails education about basic communication skills, self-reflection, training of medical consult skills with the help of simulated patients, complex consults, emotions and feedback.
I also supervise the tutors who, in turn, guide the bachelor students in their projects on themes such as teamwork, working in projects and group roles.
In addition, I give workshops on presentation and/or supervise test presentations in the 1st year of Technical Medicine, Biomedical Technology and Health Sciences.
In the bachelor, you often see a big development among students in communication skills and I find that very inspiring to witness.
Master:
In the master Technical Medicine, I supervise 5th and 6th year students during their clinical-technical internships in academic and topclinical hospitals. In intervision, individual conversations and written self-reflections, the personal and professional development of the student is central. In this way, the future technical physician is prepared for their connecting role in clinical practice.
Every student requires a different approach and I think this depth of coaching is wonderful to do.
