SHE - School of Health Professions Education

Research Institute

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.

Spring is always a joyful time at SHE. Not only because of the beautiful flowers and sunny days, but also because we welcome our MHPE students to Maastricht. This year, we were delighted to welcome 32 first-year and 22 second-year students from around the world.
