Content

This module deals with functioning as a professional practitioner. In addition to substantive knowledge of the profession and the field of work, the professional practitioner is also expected to justify the quality of his own actions and to increase personal effectiveness; he will be supervised/coached in that context and/or supervise trainees or newcomers himself 

During this module, the professional practitioner experiences what it is like to work within the field of health care or welfare as a professional. This is done by an internship and/or work experience in which reflection on one's own actions and further development are demonstrated.
