Two joint degree PhD fellowships between Department of Public Health, Faculty
of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen and Centre for
Research in Assessment and Digital Learning (CRADLE), Deakin University
(Melbourne, Australia)
We are offering two PhD fellowships focusing on medical education for
data-intensive healthcare commencing November 1st, 2019, or as soon as
possible hereafter.
Our groups and research
These PhD fellowships will be a collaboration enjoying joint supervision from
two groups comprising experts in medical pedagogy at Deakin University (headed
by Professor Margaret Bearman) and experts in medical science and technology
studies (STS) focusing on data-intensive healthcare (headed by Professor Klaus
Hoeyer). The place of employment will be in Copenhagen and fellowship will
join the everyday activities of an active research group investigating how
increased data intensification affects the healthcare services. Among the
group's projects are funded by, among others, the European Research Council,
see www.policyaid.ku.dk. Affiliation to the Section for General
Practice is an option for a project focusing on general practice.
Project description
How do medical doctors learn in digitally enabled and data-intensive
environments? Digital technology continues to change everyday practices of
healthcare and create much more data-intensive forms of healthcare delivery.
Data are used by an increasing number of social actors not only for research
and clinical purposes, but also for administration, legal controls and
remuneration, while patients also generate their own data, and increasingly
expect medical professionals to engage with data from tracking devices of
uncertain validity. Data intensification thereby poses new challenges for
medical training, while simultaneously changing the very conditions for
medical learning and professional roles. We invite investigations of the
challenges of data intensification for medical learning that can feed into
pre- or postgraduate medical training. There is scope within the project for
the applicant to carve out a specific area of interest. Studies may focus on
specialized care and/or general practice.
Principal supervisor is Professor Klaus Hoeyer, Department of Public Health,
Section for Health Services research, klho@sund.ku.dk, phone: +45
