SHE Issues by Danielle Verstegen

Emerging into a new world....
|
|
It is April 2021 .... and the Netherlands are still in lockdown. It feels normal by now. My daughter complains about the hassle of having to go to school twice a week. We have never played so much ‘Queenie’ (Irish card game) before. I try to remind myself that this is not the ‘new normal’. We will go back to a life where we meet and work and live together face-to-face as well as online.

Are you good enough for a PhD?
|
|
By Zhu Yuanyuan SHE PhD.
I never thought I was good enough. Born in a traditional Chinese family, the idea of ‘being modest and learn from others is deeply rooted in my heart. As a child, I received compliments from my family when I got high scores, but at the end of their compliments, they would never forget to add ‘Keep going, next time do even better!’

Medical Dutch by Maryam Asoodar
|
|
Maastricht University (UM) is an international university. Students from all over the world register at UM to follow their dreams. In particular, our medical courses are well known and on a yearly basis, we welcome many students to study medicine. Students know that they can do their bachelor of medicine in English. However, they would have to learn Dutch to continue their master’s in the hospital. Therefore, during their bachelor, students work on their language proficiency. They usually do a good job learning general Dutch.
To help them in this journey, SHE educators have come up with a plan to design and implement a course in the regular curriculum of medicine with a focus on medical Dutch.

Co-creating the coaching program in the new MHPE
|
|
Embarking on significant changes in education, like a curriculum revision or transforming face-to-face education into an online format, can be challenging for all those involved. However, that does not automatically imply that stakeholders do collaborate in such a design process. There has been an even louder call for a changed role for students and their engagement as important partners in the medical education process.
