Admission requirements
You are supposed to follow the courses of the first semester at the same time.
Description
In this project case the practical guide of a PHM approach will be applied to a group of complex patients, known as hotspotters. The students will apply the various aspects successively, aligned with the courses taught in those weeks. In the first four weeks (during the course Fundamentals), the essentials of PHM will be applied, the next four weeks (during the course Study Design), a study design will be created and a first data analysis will be performed. During the third four weeks (during the course Health and Health Behaviour), the health status and health behaviour of the hot spotters is analyzed using qualitative research methods. In the fourth four weeks (during the course Governance) students are challenged to describe the network of stake holders and their interests. In the last four weeks students are integrating different data aspects that are taugth in the course Responsible data analysis into their project.
Course objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, the student:
can apply the principals of PHM to a real life case
understands the contribution and interrelatedness of the various disciplines to PHM
demonstrates the ability to work together in a project case
Timetable
The timetable is published on the LUMC website (https://www.lumc.nl/org/onderwijsrooster/) or can be found via the LUMC scheduling app.
Mode of instruction
Group work
Assessment method
In the on-campus week of each course, the students will present a part of their assignment (the part related to the specific parallel course), which all needs to be passed with a ‘sufficient’ mark. The group assignment consists of both an oral presentation and a written assignment.
The final grade
The final grade for the course is established by (i) the weighted average mark combined with (ii) additional requirements. These additional requirements generally relate to one or more of the subtests, which need to be sufficient. During each on-campus week, students need to either pass a go/no-go moment or get a ‘sufficient’ mark on the subpresentation of their work.
Resit
If the result is less than 5,5 or if the student didn’t participate in one of the components, the student is given the opportunity to resit the assessment as one assignment that covers all the learning goals of the course.
A final grade of 5,5 minimum is considered sufficient.
