🔍 Meet the Partners | University of British Columbia (UBC) 🇨🇦

Based in Vancouver, Canada, UBC is consistently ranked among the world’s top 40 universities. It’s also BC’s largest educator of health professionals, with 4,500+ trainees and 12,000 faculty involved in training at any given time. 🧠🏆

Through the Patient & Community Partnership for Education (PCPE), UBC has been redefining health professional education for over two decades.

🎓 At this institution, experts by experience don’t just guest-lecture: they co-design curricula, share lived experience, and shape how future professionals learn to care. PCPE’s Interprofessional Health Mentors Program now runs in 5 countries, with 2,250+ graduates since 2011.

UBC’s commitment to patient-centered, interprofessional education makes it a key voice in the PULPIT consortium and a powerful example of putting people at the heart of learning. 💬🤝

We’re proud to partner with UBC as we co-create a more inclusive, human, and collaborative future for healthcare education in Europe and beyond. 🌍

@🎙️ New Episode Alert!
Building Patient-Centered Education
with Matthijs Bosveld & Cathy Kline

In this insightful episode of PULPIT, the podcast, we hear from two pioneers in patient-inclusive education:

🧠 Matthijs Bosveld – PhD candidate at Maastricht University & co-founder of the Patient as a Person Foundation
🌍 Cathy Kline – Assistant Director at UBC's Patient and Community Partnership for Education

Together, they discuss:
✨ Why real patients — not actors — bring unmatched authenticity to the classroom
👥 How involving patients transforms both students and the patients themselves
🏛️ The challenges of shifting institutional culture to embrace shared teaching
🌍 Their story of transatlantic collaboration between Europe and Canada
💬 “Patients aren’t learning tools — they’re part of the teaching staff.”

Whether you’re an educator, student, or patient advocate, this conversation is filled with practical insights on how to create more human, collaborative, and authentic healthcare education.

🎧 New Podcast Episode!
Revolutionizing Healthcare Education Through Patient Voices

In this episode of PULPIT, the podcast, we introduce the PULPIT Project — an EU-funded initiative led by Ricardo Ferreira that aims to transform healthcare education by placing patients at the heart of learning.

💬 What if future healthcare professionals learned not only from textbooks and lectures, but directly from people living with chronic illness?

That’s exactly what the PULPIT Project is doing:
👥 Bringing patients into the classroom to share lived experiences
🧑‍⚕️ Encouraging interprofessional learning across disciplines
🎓 Developing innovative educational tools like patient stories and videos
🌍 Learning from global models — including Canada’s 20+ years of patient-led education

Ricardo also shares the challenges of curriculum integration and institutional change — and why now is the time to make patient and public involvement a core part of healthcare education.

💡 Real care begins with real understanding.

🔍 Meet the Partners | ESEL/CIDNUR – Lisbon School of Nursing 🇵🇹

ESEL is a leading public nursing school in Portugal, founded in 2004 through the merger of four historic institutions in Lisbon. In 2025, it was integrated as a School of the University of Lisbon (UL). Today, it offers a full range of nursing education, from undergraduate to postgraduate, and welcomes around 350 new students each year into its 4-year bachelor’s program.

With two main campuses in Lisbon (Gulbenkian for undergraduate training and Artur Ravara for postgraduate studies). CIDNUR is the ESEL’s research unit, committed to excellence, innovation, and the advancement of nursing science, both nationally and internationally.

💡 As part of the PULPIT Project consortium, ESEL contributes its deep expertise in nursing education and patient-centered training to help reshape how future health professionals are taught.

We're proud to work alongside ESEL/CIDNUR in building a more inclusive and human-centered approach to healthcare education!

🔍 What does it take for patients to move from the margins to the centre of health education?

A new publication from the Université de Montréal powerfully explores this evolution, as patient partners reflect on their growing role in interprofessional education.

📝 "From Fringe to Core: Speaking Out About Our Evolving Role as Patient Partners in the PARTENAIRES Interprofessional Education Programme"

This article, shared during our first PULPIT webinar, is a must-read for anyone working to meaningfully embed lived experience in healthcare training.
