<br>
<br>Two joint degree PhD fellowships between Department of Public Health, Faculty
<br>of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen and Centre for
<br>Research in Assessment and Digital Learning (CRADLE), Deakin University
<br>(Melbourne, Australia)
<br>
<br>We are offering two PhD fellowships focusing on medical education for
<br>data-intensive healthcare commencing November 1st, 2019, or as soon as
<br>possible hereafter.
<br>
<br>Our groups and research
<br>
<br>These PhD fellowships will be a collaboration enjoying joint supervision from
<br>two groups comprising experts in medical pedagogy at Deakin University (headed
<br>by Professor Margaret Bearman) and experts in medical science and technology
<br>studies (STS) focusing on data-intensive healthcare (headed by Professor Klaus
<br>Hoeyer). The place of employment will be in Copenhagen and fellowship will
<br>join the everyday activities of an active research group investigating how
<br>increased data intensification affects the healthcare services. Among the
<br>group's projects are funded by, among others, the European Research Council,
<br>see www.policyaid.ku.dk. Affiliation to the Section for General
<br>Practice is an option for a project focusing on general practice.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>Project description
<br>
<br>How do medical doctors learn in digitally enabled and data-intensive
<br>environments? Digital technology continues to change everyday practices of
<br>healthcare and create much more data-intensive forms of healthcare delivery.
<br>Data are used by an increasing number of social actors not only for research
<br>and clinical purposes, but also for administration, legal controls and
<br>remuneration, while patients also generate their own data, and increasingly
<br>expect medical professionals to engage with data from tracking devices of
<br>uncertain validity. Data intensification thereby poses new challenges for
<br>medical training, while simultaneously changing the very conditions for
<br>medical learning and professional roles. We invite investigations of the
<br>challenges of data intensification for medical learning that can feed into
<br>pre- or postgraduate medical training. There is scope within the project for
<br>the applicant to carve out a specific area of interest. Studies may focus on
<br>specialized care and/or general practice.
<br>
<br>
