The Master of Science in Mental Health is an occupation-oriented academic study aimed at mental health care. The programme provides high level education with three basic, but important competencies: diagnostic, intervention and research. In this context competency is regarded as the ability to properly apply theoretical knowledge to solve specific problems and cannot be examined outside of the interrelationship. |

This programme primarily aims at students wanting careers as recognised epidemiologists. The structure and programme contents are based on the requirements as arranged in the Netherlands for a Licensed Registrar of an A-class Epidemiologist. In Europe steps are being taken to formulate a set of competences and criteria for Epidemiologists. This endeavour bears a liking to the Dutch learning criteria. The intention is to become a part of a larger collaborative programme of European universities that will focus on the international exchange of epidemiology students. |

The purpose of this project-based approach is to allow the participants to learn about all aspects of assessment in a constructive way, by linking underlying theory to practical implementations. During the week some interactive lectures and workshops will be given, but the main focus will be on self-directed and peer learning. Also, experts in various fields of assessment will be available for consultation. Issues that will be dealt with are: various methods and their strengths and weaknesses, test construction, blueprinting, quality control, test statistics/psychometrics and assessment as an educational programme. |

Objectives/

The course aims to inform you on all aspects of problem-based learning (PBL) as implemented at Maastricht, Nijmegen and Groningen Universities.
The Summer Course is not only about education, it is also about meeting other people. In this case people from all over the world. There are not many opportunities in life to collaboratively work for a number of days with such a broad mix of professionals and cultures.
Week 1 gives a broad general introduction to PBL. Week 2 offers Advanced Topics in PBL. In this week participants make their own selection from an array of courses on educational innovation in general and PBL in particular. Week 3 focuses on the 'Groningen Curriculum G 2010', the new medical curriculum at the Groningen University Medical Centre.

The course is intended for all involved in academic education in e.g. Medicine, Health Sciences, and Behavioural Sciences.
The working language is English. Given the format of the modules, active mastery of this language is required.
"Teach what you preach" is the guiding principle of the Summer Course. Thus, learning will be largely experiential with exercises, simulations, small-group work and demonstrations. Participants are expected to be prepared to engage in active learning. |
| Tuition Fees |
|
The fee for a full week programme is € 1,200 including a literature package, a welcome breakfast, all lunches, coffee/tea breaks, and an afternoon or evening trip (including dinner). Participants can select individual courses in the second week at a rate of € 270 per half day.

Objectives/

Participants will learn the basic principles of curriculum design and apply these to an interdisciplinary, thematic, undergraduate medical programme.
Participants will approach the design of an integrated curriculum in a stepwise fashion. Starting with the rationale for conceptual changes in health professions education and the characteristics of integrated vs. traditional curricula, the course will focus on the basic principles to be applied in designing an integrated, thematic curriculum. Subsequently, attention will be paid to the construction of phases of an integrated curriculum and the related opportunities and limitations. In the next step, the participants will use a variety of instructional formats, including student assessment, in constructing some educational modules. The last topics of the course are the design of the organisation and quality assurance of integrated curricula. |
