Medstudenter som undervisere

At studenter hjelper hverandre å lære er ikke nytt. Det som har skjedd de siste årene, er at rollen som undervisnings- eller læringsassistent har blitt mer verdsatt, også ved UiB. Engasjerte fagfolk fra det medisinske og det juridiske fakultet deler sine erfaringer.

Fakultetets fellesutlysning av rekrutteringsstillinger

Det medisinske fakultet pleier normalt å lyse ut rekrutteringsstillinger (stipendiat- og postdoktorstillinger) hver vår og høst i en «fellesutlysning».

Budsjettkutt fra Kunnskapsdepartementet, endringer i pensjonsordning og økte strømregninger er hovedårsakene til en strammere økonomi.

Det jobbes med å få budsjettene i balanse, men det vil dessverre ikke være mulig å lyse ut rekrutteringsstillinger våren 2023.

Avklaring rundt høstens utlysning vil komme mot slutten av juni.

Jubileumsmarkering: 150 år siden oppdagelsen av leprabasillen

I 2023 er det 150 år siden oppdagelsen av Leprabasillen, det skal markeres med flere arrangementer i løpet av året og 28. februar inviterer vi til jubileumsmarkering i Universitetsaulaen.

Gerhard Henrik Armauer Hansens er «uten sammenlikning den mest berømte norske lege gjennom tidene» (Norsk biografisk leksikon). Den største bragden var oppdagelsen av leprabasillen, M.leprae, først observert 28. februar 1873.

Oppdagelsen representerte et medisinsk paradigmeskifte da den for første gang viste at en bakterie er årsak til kronisk sykdom. Den representerte også et epidemiologisk gjennombrudd med konsekvenser for forebyggende medisin og helselovgivning i Norge, og globalt.
