About
Work full-time for 10 weeks on a relevant research question or patient case originating from the UMC Utrecht in which patients are also often involved.
In subgroups, work together with a group of students on the same overall hypothesis using different perspectives and methodologies.
During the first two weeks, study the subject under the supervision of medical doctors and researchers and devise the research strategy. Then, conduct experiments for 6 weeks to answer this question. In the last two weeks, analyze and present the data and collectively write a single scientific article or report about it.
Conduct authentic and real-world biomedical research in small groups.
Work together with an interdisciplinary group (BMW & GNK) hands-on on an urgent medical need that directly promotes healthcare.
Develop new practical skills or enhance existing ones.
Every course edition the theme will change.
Register via Osiris for this course (15 credits).
