Consolidated Competence for the Healthcare of the Future – A Preliminary Study on Medical Technology Education

Important results from the project

The project largely achieved its objectives. The needs assessment, workshop, and action plan were completed as planned. Results include a shared overview, identified development areas, and a jointly anchored plan. The project also strengthened collaboration between academia, industry, and healthcare, created alignment on key needs, and increased commitment to continued joint initiatives.

Expected long term effects

The project provides a foundation for more structured national collaboration in medical technology education. In the long term, this may improve alignment with labor market needs, strengthen competence supply, and expand lifelong learning. It also enables joint initiatives and may contribute to innovation, knowledge sharing, and implementation of medical technologies in healthcare.

Approach and implementation

The project was conducted as a pre-study in three phases: needs assessment, workshop, and action plan. The design enabled broad engagement and joint analysis. Activities largely followed the timeline, and collaboration worked well. The combination of local and joint activities strengthened the results, with the workshop playing a key role in building shared understanding and commitment.
