Her PhD research focused on interdisciplinary collaboration of teachers in the development of integrated health profession education. Specifically, the PhD studies focused on fostering understanding and facilitating interdisciplinary team (learning) processes, learning cultures and psychological safety in the workplace. In her research, Stephanie takes a multidisciplinary approach, using knowledge from management and educational sciences and her experiences from health care, and using qualitative, ethnographic and quantitative methods. Her work was granted with multiple (inter)national grants and awards (i.e. NVMO, AMEE, AERA).
