Our students 

With our educational strategy The New Utrecht School (TNUS) we train healthcare professionals who look beyond their own field. We encourage collaboration across faculties and institutions and connect disciplines, perspectives, and people. With TNUS, we prepare students for a healthcare practice in which collaboration, innovation, and social engagement are central. This allows us to train (future) care and health professionals who can have a greater impact on patients and society. 

In 2025, The New Utrecht School was formally anchored as an independent department within the UMC Utrecht Education Center. This ensures that our educational strategy is structurally embedded in the organization. In 2025, the department worked with nine impulse teams on further implementation and integration of themes such as resilience and wellbeing, diversity and inclusion, planetary health, patient participation, translational medicine and life sciences, interdisciplinary education, and interprofessional learning. 

With representatives from various programs and disciplines, the impulse teams collaborated on quality and assessment, new technologies, and educational research. Through further implementation of these themes, knowledge sharing, and integration into curricula, many results were achieved in 2025.
