The story of:
"I studied medicine at Maastricht University and graduated in 1982. I have been working at the Department of Educational Research and Development since 2005. Before I started my current job I was involved in curriculum development, programme evaluation, student assessment and staff development in a problem-based curriculum for midwifery education, at the Faculty of Midwifery Education and Studies, Maastricht.
Current activities are centred around (student) assessment, both in undergraduate and postgraduate medical education. I am currently the chair of the taskforce on assessment, which is the group responsible for various aspects of quality control and improvement of assessment in the Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences.
In 2011, I finished my PhD-thesis on assessment of performance in real life contexts (clinical workplace). My research interests are in competency-based education and assessment, and more specifically in work-based assessment, in-training assessment programmes and expertise development in professional education".
