Technology is transforming our world at a rapid pace. What does this mean for the professions as we know them today? Not only for radiologists, surgeons, or nurses, but also for new professionals who will play a role in healthcare transformation and prevention. In this session, we will demonstrate how the Technical Universities (TUs) are investing in innovative education to train future-ready professionals who can engineer technology in practice and strengthen healthcare.
Together with participants from clinical practice, the TUs, and professional associations, we will engage in a discussion on collaboration to shape innovative education. The session will start with two presentations on innovative educational initiatives at the TUs that are being developed in collaboration with healthcare partners. This will be followed by a discussion with participants and a panel about the role of the TUs in the coming years in developing new educational programmes and the role of other stakeholders in positioning these new professionals.
