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.

SHE’s ambitions are captured in our vision: excellent healthcare requires evidence-informed models for the education of future and current healthcare professionals.
