Careful data curation and analyses are essential in developing machine learning algorithms, that may usefully contribute to solving problems encountered in routine healthcare. Nevertheless, many valuable contributions never transition from the computer to the bedside. Often implementation is never attempted, or they fail to get the relevant CE marking (or equivalent local standard), or their implementation fails to elicit the intended health benefit (failure due to lack of clinical utility).

Did you ever wonder how you can improve your data management and handling? Have you ever hoped for a clean and indisputable database that you could easily share with your collaborators? Understand the art of Data Stewardship and get a handle on your data! Data could yield great value when processed intelligently for medical data science but holds great risks when processing is lost in complexity. This online Data Stewardship course will guide you to steward your clinical data to aid data science developments, facilitate collaborative research, comply with privacy regulations, and ensure data integrity and quality. Together we will put data stewardship in practice with clinical decision-making tools, predictive models, and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

We will focus on themes as rehabilitation, technology, mental and social health, innovation and designing. These topics will be discussed in a multi-disciplinary working environment.

Note: We are very grateful that we received so many applications from Singapore. To ensure the intercultural learning experiences, we highly recommend further students from Singapore to apply for one of our other healthcare courses.

This course will inform you, from different perspectives, about the factors that keep older people healthy and enable them to continue to participate in society. We will focus on a better understanding of the aging process, the prevention of functional decline and preservation of autonomy. Different excursions will let you experience getting older. Prior to the course, you will be given an assignment to conduct a life review with an elderly person (65+) and which will be presented during the course.

This summer course will focus on urgent topics in global health ethics and equity. With an enthusiastic team of experts from all over the world, we will discuss the major challenges to health equity in the world at this moment as well as potential solutions. This programme is a collaboration between the University Medical Center Utrecht and the Royal Tropical Institute.

Are you interested in rehabilitation of the hand, and do you want to spend two weeks of your summer to accelerate on this topic? This is your chance to join us during our interesting and varied programme! The course is intended for students and recent graduates in physiotherapy and related fields, interested in hand therapy. Participants will gain knowledge and skills of the most common traumatic injuries and interventions (both therapeutic and surgical) of the hand and wrist. Experience benefits of the knowledge and inspiration that you will acquire during this summer course.

The course will provide insight in study design and analysis in pharmacoepidemiologic and drug safety research. Methodological issues are presented in the context of decision making on medicines. The course takes a multi-stakeholder perspective and applies educational approaches to facilitate interaction between these stakeholders among the participants. It is an intensive programme which covers many relevant topics concerning pharmacoepidemiology.

The aim of this course is to give students insight into current developments in pharmaceutical policy making as well to give a better understanding of the methods available for analysing the effects of policy interventions.
