School of Health Professions Education
The School of Health Professions Education (SHE) is a graduate school for research, education and innovation in health professions education. Since its inception, the vision and mission of SHE has been clear. We consistently focus on having a global impact on healthcare through research and translating this into education. SHE’s ambitions are captured in our vision: excellent healthcare requires evidence-informed models for the education of future and current healthcare professionals.
