Expert Opinions

Stuart Silk

President Stryker Europe

Thanks to the close collaboration between VUmc and AMC, the Amsterdam Skills Centre will be a new academic landmark.

We see this state of the art facility as a unique partnership between university, industry and NGOs in an innovative melting pot.

Hans Romijn

Chairman Amsterdam UMC

The skills of surgeons and other medical professionals, who are trained with simulators, turn out to be higher than the skills learned via traditional methods.
Virtual learning environments are essential to improve surgical skills and to render healthcare more sustainable.

Amsterdam already has a sound track record of academic medical teaching for hundreds of years. Right here, almost 400 years ago Rembrandt painted his famous ‘anatomy lesson’.

Now again Amsterdam is building the next generation medical learning platform, based on a complete new way of learning and teaching.
