Leader of the week

Dear everyone,

A lot of good work is currently going on in the various teaching groups at K2 related to input on proposals for a new study model for the medical program. It requires a lot of effort for many to change established teaching, and at the same time, some changes are absolutely necessary to achieve a common multi-campus model with students distributed across Førde, Haugesund, Stavanger and Bergen in the last three years of study. A big thank you for the tremendous effort from so many to ensure well-trained doctors for the future in Western Norway!

The Medisin2015 internships that have been in Stavanger, Førde and Haugesund for many years will be transferred to hospitals in the Bergen region in the coming years. To achieve this, many different professional environments at the hospitals, in collaboration with UiB, have in recent months carried out extensive mapping and planning work, with a report now almost completed for delivery to the Joint Education Council for Bergen Health, Haraldsplass Diakonale Hospital and UiB (link: Click under "read more" for the link)

I would like to remind you of the Faculty's Research Day on October 21st with a lot of exciting activities on the program.

Have a really good weekend!

Camilla
