Developments in education
Besides the approval of the two new interdisciplinary programs (the Bachelor in Care, Health and Society and the Master’s program in Medical Humanities ) we would also like to highlight a few other developments in the field of education in 2021:
The new program in Basic Acute Care
In November 2021, we launched our new program in Basic Acute Care , with which we will train nurses to be generally deployable in acute care, and in which we offer them more expert knowledge, development possibilities and career prospects. Healthcare issues are changing and care is becoming more complex. The new follow-up training focuses on this, and is a step in the direction of future-proof nursing . The new program also addresses the need for more good people with the right expertise to provide acute care.
Updated training in traumatology
In 2021, a new version of the training program in Traumatology was launched at UMC Utrecht for (OR) nurses, outpatient staff, and nurse anesthetists who want to further their knowledge in this field. Both the content and the shape of the course has been adapted to the needs and circumstances of our time. It is now the tenth year of this regional course for which there is even countrywide interest.

New PhD program in Life Science Education Research
September 2021 saw the kick-off of the new PhD program in Life Science Education Research that we have developed in cooperation with the Graduate School of Life Sciences of Utrecht University/UMC Utrecht. The aim of this PhD program is to create an inclusive community or researchers who will study educational processes in the course of their thesis and who want to further develop their knowledge and skills with regard to educational research in the field of Life Sciences.
