Education

A major goal of the RESC is to provide contemporary study and continuing education programmes at different levels (BSc, MSc, PhD, CAS, DAS, MAS, etc.), spanning the multiple research fields that contribute to a holistic rehabilitation approach.

Therefore, we identified the most relevant skills needed to enable a new generation of professionals and decision makers to contribute towards the establishment of a continuum-of-care and a more inclusive society. Topics of high importance were identified and selectively listed hereinafter:

biomedical / rehabilitation / tissue engineering
assistive and wearable technologies
robotics & human robot interaction
machine learning & artificial intelligence
digital health
tele-rehabilitation
understanding of clinical processes & rehabilitation specialisation
clinical quality management
interprofessional collaboration
personalised rehabilitation
multimorbidity & healthy ageing
theories of inclusion & disability
enabling environment
health literacy
disability studies & disability ethics
data ethics
health economics & health policy

Based on this solid framework of relevant topics, different study and continuing education programmes are being evaluated (e.g. market analysis, target setting) and conceptualised, and will be consecutively implemented after approval.
