Overview
The students will be introduced into educational theory and develop educational skills. The half minor program will start with a crush-course in the theoretical background of peer teaching and (bio)medical education. Therefrom, you will start with attending workgroups/lectures of the first year of biomedical sciences or medicine to observe other teachers. You will start teaching small groups by using the theoretical background and by the observations done in the first days and few weeks. You will participate in an educational science research project and write a scientific paper. Students who successfully complete this Half Minor will receive a certificate at the end.
