PhD candidate on Interprofessional Learning and Team Resilience through the Electronic Health Record

PhD candidate on Interprofessional Learning and Team Resilience through the Electronic Health Record

Our goal: You will contribute to the E-PLUS project (Epic and interprofessional Learning Used in Sync), a practice-oriented collaboration between the Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences (FHML) and Maastricht University Medical Center+ (MUMC+). The project supports interprofessional care teams in making optimal use of available healthcare information for care optimisation.

Your colleagues: You will be based at the Department of Educational Development and Research and the School of Health Professions Education (SHE). Together with colleagues from FHML, MUMC+, and the MUMC+ Quality, Innovation and Research expertise unit, you will work in an interdisciplinary network that bridges research, education, and daily healthcare practice.

In this PhD project, you will investigate what information interprofessional teams need to recognise and evaluate resilience challenges (e.g., high workload and rapid staff changes) and how that information can support collaborative decision-making and learning. Your work will combine scientific rigour with direct relevance for healthcare practice.

What you do
Your responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

• Develop a PhD proposal that outlines four studies in line with the project plan.
• Analyse healthcare information needs for strengthening team resilience.
• Design and implement educational activities that foster interprofessional learning and care optimisation in healthcare practice.
• Conduct quantitative and/or qualitative research to design, implement, and evaluate these educational activities (Educational Design Research).

What you bring
We’re not looking for checkboxes; we’re interested in who you are and what you bring. Do you recognise yourself in this?

Key requirements:

• Master’s degree in a relevant domain (obtained).
• Experience in research in education, healthcare, health sciences, or a related domain.
• Strong collaboration skills, creativity, and the ability to work independently.
• Proficiency in both Dutch and English, given the predominantly Dutch-speaking study context.
• Motivation to contribute to practice-oriented research and educational innovation.
