Introducing the new MHPE Management Team

After completing the herculean effort of introducing competence-based education with a stronger emphasis on self-regulated learning as well as programmatic assessment, Daniëlle Verstegen, Janneke Frambach, and Jill Whittingham passed the torch to a new management team.

As of September 1st, 2025, the brand new MHPE Management team has been installed. Led by Renée Stalmeijer, co-coordinated by Boukje Compen, and further strengthened by Jimmy Frèrejean, the new team is looking forward to building on the strong foundation laid during the curriculum revision.

For the next couple of years, the management team has several projects in mind to further optimize and improve the MHPE program. These include areas like quality of (intermediate) feedback and the accompanying workload; ensuring alignment within the curriculum and sufficient attention to the different educational roles that we are training (leader, educator, researcher); introducing learning tasks that help students deal with AI in their own curricula; decolonization of the curriculum, and further solidifying and diversifying our international partnerships and student body.  

To help us in these endeavors, we are also looking to install an advisory board consisting of alumni, experts in the field, and current students.
Even though many things are uncertain in today’s world, we are looking forward to keep building the MHPE community as an anchor and source of educational innovation and excellence.
