Role in the project:
The TechMed Centre of the University of Twente is closely involved in work package 5 in which we, together with our regional partners, will contribute to the testing and implementation phase of the Regional Vocational Education Hubs in Healthcare (EPVE).
The TechMed Centre has a broad experience in (academic) education of healthcare professionals in the technological medical domain, both students and professionals. Next to our broad technological experience in the healthcare domain our institute has a specific pedagogical vision in / on training and delivering the ‘adaptive professional’, a professional who is able to act in uncertain and untrained situations. Complementary, part of these trainings is held within our simulation centre. Our mission is to deliver the sustainable healthcare professional who is well-equipped for future-proof challenges.
Considering this specific expertise and experience the TechMed Centre is able to play a valuable contribution in the EUVECA project.
