✨New Microlearning Module Available!

“Existing Experiences of Patient and Public Involvement and Interprofessional Education in Healthcare”
🕒 Duration: 1h 45m

We’re excited to launch a new microlearning module that explores how Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) and Interprofessional Education (IPE) are transforming healthcare learning.

Patient involvement brings real-world experiences directly into the classroom, helping bridge the gap between theory and practice. It enhances empathy, strengthens communication, and supports the development of truly person-centred care. When lived experiences shape education, learning becomes more relevant, impactful, and aligned with the realities of healthcare.

What’s included:
🎥 Recorded video content
📖 Concise reading materials
📝 Interactive exercises to reinforce learning

This module is ideal for educators, students, and healthcare professionals looking to deepen their understanding of PPI and IPE — and to integrate these approaches more effectively into their teaching and practice.

🔍 Meet the Partners | Patient as a Person Foundation

Patient As a Person Foundation (Dutch: Mens Achter de Patiënt (MAP)_) is a Dutch organization dedicated to fostering person‑centred healthcare through education. They believe real change begins in how we teach.

MAP runs person-centred learning modules where students and real patients meet across three sessions to share stories, reflect together, and challenge assumptions. These sessions are offered both in Dutch and English, ensuring that international medical and public health students benefit too. 🧠📚

Founded in 2017 by two visionary university students, MAP has since grown into a respected example of how patients can be educators, not just recipients of care.

📈 Feedback from students? Extremely positive, with reported gains in empathy, communication skills, and human connection.

🤝Within PULPIT, MAP contributes tested practices and a clear commitment to co-creating education with patients, helping shape a more compassionate, inclusive future for healthcare training. We’re proud to have them on board!
