EFFICIENCY OF HEALTHCARE This is a distinguishing competence of the future medical specialist. Changes in care take place through the application of new concepts, such as Positive Health and network medicine, within Our Healthcare of the Future. Over the coming years, we will be studying the impact that embedding various themes in the study programme has on the ‘effective action’ of students, specialists in training and medical specialists in practice, both in the hospital and the region. LEARNING IN THE WORKPLACE Through learning in the workplace, the Maastricht UMC+ Academy wishes to ‘ reach’ employees in relation to the qualities that make them indispensable. Human relationships and professional skills are of central importance, but above all there is the real, sometimes chaotic, emotional, and at the same time splendid world of healthcare. Patients are themselves part of the learning process in the workplace and they learn, too, during conversations with care professional at the bedside. MASTER’S IN GLOBAL HEALTH This Master’s Programme focuses on issues surrounding globalisation and health, with participants studying the complex relationships between health, healthcare, technology, economic developments and politics. Students develop a solid knowledge base and skills that they need in order to work effectively in this challenging interdisciplinary and intercultural field as a policymaker, a doctor working internationally or a socially responsible entrepreneur. 35 Healthy Living 2025 1.4. EDUCATION AND TRAINING Maastricht UMC+ trains professionals with a broad outlook on health and care. Education at Maastricht UMC+ encompasses the full range of educational programmes and training courses, from initial Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes, through advanced medical and nursing courses, to refresher courses and further training as part of ‘lifelong learning’. BACHELOR’S AND MASTER’S DEGREE PROGRAMMES The Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences offers a variety of Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes in Medicine, Health Sciences and Life Sciences. Our comprehensive approach, from prevention to care and from social issues to molecular analysis, is reflected in this range of programmes. Students are prepared for a future in which they can work successfully in practice and/or academia in the area of illness, care and health. Maastricht University is known nationally and internationally for its ‘problem-based learning’ (PBL) and innovation in educational concepts. The teaching puts the student centre-stage and is small in scale. The subject matter is based on cases. In order to meet the demands of a changing society, all programmes focus on the development of generic competences, such as academic methods of thinking and working, professional conduct, communication and collaboration in an international context. In all Bachelor’s degree programmes, in addition to the educational content, there are parallel learning pathways that focus on developing these competences. Students are guided by a mentor, their progress is monitored, and self-reflection is encouraged through the use of a portfolio. This approach contributes to the sustainable employability of our graduates. In this regard, resilience and preventing burn-out, among other things, are increasingly important. Students are very closely involved in developing educational programmes. The results of the educational study by the School for Health Professions Education (SHE) will be applied, so as to continue innovating and updating our educational concepts. One example of this is the internationally prominent position held by Maastricht UMC+ in the area of programmatic testing. The complete body of tests within a programme forms part of the educational and learning processes. Knowledge valorisation is achieved by marketing both educational know-how and study programmes, or parts of programmes.
