About TechMed Academy

Participants have a unique opportunity to hone their skills in a safe environment thanks to the state-of-the-art facilities at the TechMed Simulation Centre. The centre provides a variety of clinically realistic learning environments, including intensive care units, (hybrid) operating rooms, imaging laboratories, and examination and consultation rooms. It is equipped with standard and advanced clinical technology, but above all serves as a flexible environment that can be tailored to specific educational needs in line with our educational vision. Participants are given a safe space in which to make mistakes and learn from them, a process reinforced by direct and impactful feedback. We encourage continuous interaction between practice in a controlled learning environment and applying and refining new knowledge and skills in a clinical context.  

We offer certified training programs with our without online education. In addition, we facilitate customised training programmes for a wide variety of stakeholders by sharing our facilities and educational expertise. Our training programmes are developed in co-creation with the relevant stakeholders. We achieve this through close cooperation with hospitals, the MedTech industry and professional associations in the medical sector, including the Dutch Society for Vascular Surgery. Together we offer a wide range of professional healthcare training to over 500 participants each year, ensuring the highest educational standards while tailoring our services to the learning needs of the user. 

Benefit from our specific educational approach with its clear emphasis on becoming an adaptive expert. An approach that focuses on the accurate and safe use of medical technology.

• Become an adaptive expert: a highly skilled professional who builds on conscious competence and in-depth knowledge of medical technology and the underlying concepts. This kind of professional is able to perform effectively, even in new situations not specifically dealt with in training. We are committed to training professionals with conscious competence.
• Training through deliberate practice: a method in which participants consciously learn by taking control of their own learning process and determining their own learning needs and individual areas for improvement on an ongoing basis. Through feedback and reflection, we challenge participants to embrace continuous self-improvement and monitor their own development.
• Our training programmes are flexible and consist primarily of concise modules. They always start with the learning needs and starting level of the learner. Our training integrates theory and application so that what you learn today can be put into clinical practice tomorrow.
