To all at the university who teach in medicine, nursing and other health-related subjects.

Do you want to train to integrate current research into your teaching?

From 4 to 7 June 2018, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health arranges the 19th Nordic workshop in knowledge-based practice in Oslo.

It has long been a goal for educational institutions to strengthen the essence of current research in the teaching. We want the students to learn:

• to base practice on research-based knowledge (integrated with clinical experience and patient /user preferences)
• to individualize clinical decisions
• to renew their knowledge

Integrating current research into teaching may seem time consuming, and we need thinking, motivation and tools to get it done.

We form a small group of teachers from the university and college sector if there are sufficient numbers. They will work together for four days with guidance from experienced colleagues from home and abroad.

Note that there is a reduced price for individual enrollment before 1 March and possibility for group discounts (at least three participants from the same workplace) by enrollment before 1 April.

More information, including registration, is available on the Norwegian Institute of Public Health’s website. (Link in Norwegian.)

For questions and more information contact: Anne Brit Simonsen or Hilde Strømme.

The UiB initiative Global Challenges organizes a conference on “Migration” for employees at the University on 9 March. The purpose of the conference is to gather researchers at UiB, which in some way are interested in the causes and effects of migration, and further look at new interdisciplinary cooperation projects. Migration and health cover many subjects, and everyone at the Faculty of Medicine, who is interested in various aspects of this, is encouraged to sign up for the conference.
