"Maastricht University belongs to the top PhD programs in the world with high internationally recognized standards".
Jeroen van Merriënboer, Research Director
Educational research is essential for finding new and better ways to educate doctors, nurses, physical therapists and other health professionals. The general aim of all SHE research, including the PhD programme, is to provide support for research and innovation in health professions education.
SHE Research Programme
SHE’s research programme 2018-2023 is called Task-Centered Learning Environments in the Health Professions. The programme has four main themes: (1) goals and values of and approaches to evaluation, (2) approaches to instruction, (3) approaches to assessment, and (4) approaches to implementation. The full description of the programme can be found here.
Research on education is crucial to increase our understanding about how to optimally educate health professionals in order to prepare them for the delivery of high-quality care within the dynamic context of the healthcare setting and to support innovations in education. Current instructional design approaches emphasize the importance of using task-centered learning environments within training programs, in which learners either work on professional tasks in the clinical workplace or on learning tasks based on professional problems in the educational institute.

NEW SHE Dissertation Award
In our school, we have about 10 PhD candidates each year that defend their PhD Thesis. Many of these theses are of very high scientific quality. To honor our PhD candidates and to celebrate scientific progress in health professions education it has been decided to offer an annual SHE Dissertation Award for the best PhD thesis defended in a particular year. A jury has studied all theses that were defended in 2017 and, after careful consideration, selected one thesis for the SHE Dissertation Award 2017. The winner will be announced at the SHE Gathering, which will be organized parallel to the AMEE conference in Basel, on Monday, August 27, early in the evening. Please join this event to celebrate the first SHE Dissertation Award with us and to congratulate the winner!
