Masterclass “Noordwijk” covered in the LUMC magazine Cicero

~ BS

The LUMC magazine “Cicero” covered our Masterclass in Noordwijk. Its a nice description (in Dutch) of two weekend of undergrad-die-hard-epidemiology. One of the students is also interviewed and she concludes:

“Het lukt de docenten om de studenten de hele tijd
te blijven boeien, gedurende twee weekenden van donderdagavond tot zaterdagmiddag. Ik was bang dat ik dat niet zou volhouden. Maar het ging, en het bleef nog leuk ook.”

The text of the article can be found below and here in pdf (cicero 29 jan 2013).  More articles etc can be found on the media page.

Masterclass clinical research and epidemiology in the University digital newsletter

~ BS

Today a story on our Masterclass clinical research and epidemiology (aka Noordwijk) featured in the University Newsletter.

An excerpt (in Dutch):

“Voor de vijfde keer konden studenten Geneeskunde en Biomedische Wetenschappen deelnemen aan het vlaggenschip van het epidemiologische honoursprogramma: de masterclass Klinisch onderzoek en epidemiologie. De belangstelling epidemiologisch honoursprogramma is groot maar ook bij andere afdelingen, zoals Anatomie en Farmacologie, is het ook mogelijk om een honourstrajecten te volgen.”

It’s a great thing that our efforts get so much media attention: perhaps it’ll help us in securing the funding for the next years? Click here for the complete story, or read more story in the media section.

Radio interview – Masterclass ‘Noordwijk’

~ BS

The first weekend of the Masterclass in Noordwijk just finished. It was a great 3 days with a lot of interesting discussions. I hope the students liked it as well.

Today, I was interviewed on the subject of ‘a Masterclass in a youth hostel’. Apparently, the local radio station thought it was quite strange that students of the LUMC would go to Noordwijkerhout to get trained in clinical epidemiology. With 60-80 student applying each years of which only 32 can be selected, we know better! The interview started of a little slow (a lot of Ehms on my part didn’t help) but eventually I think the interview was quite okay. More information can be found on the website of nens.nl. I also uploaded the interview to the media section of the this website.
