A Masterclass Shaped by International Expertise
The SHIFT program was directly informed by the conclusions of the Digital Healthcare Seminar, which took place in June 2025. This event gathered faculty from six countries across Europe and North America to discuss scientific challenges, professional needs, and teaching practices in the digital healthcare sector. Conclusions from the seminar were leveraged to build the SHIFT program.
