The Life Long Professional Learning (LLPL) group aims to contribute to the expertise development of healthcare professionals working in a high-tech healthcare environment. Through use-inspired basic research and applying a human factors approach, we support educators and researchers in designing, implementing, and evaluating solutions for technical medical educational challenges. By bringing researchers, educators and students together, we create a community of learning and critical thinking to foster lifelong learning of healthcare professionals.
Mission and vision
The mission of the LLPL group is to help educators improve the quality and effectiveness of health professions education, focusing on educating professionals who need to work with medical technology. We aim to integrate knowledge from our own psychological and educational research into carefully designed training programs for healthcare professionals working at the intersection of technology and healthcare.
The Lab for LLPL helps shape educational innovations and research in three ways: 1) by studying the development of adaptive expertise, 2) by taking a human factors perspective on professional expertise and 3) by performing use-inspired basic research and design-based research.
- Developing adaptive expertise
We aim to contribute to the adaptive expertise development of healthcare professionals by investigating their technology use in clinical practice and how they learn to apply technology safely and effectively. Professionals need to acquire domain-specific knowledge and skills to solve complex, technical medical problems.
- A human factors perspective on professional expertise
We view professional expertise from a human factors perspective. The professional is part of a complex and dynamic system influenced by multiple interacting factors, such as prior knowledge, the organization, the team, and the type of task to be performed.
- Use-inspired basic research and design-based research
We perform educational research in the tradition of use-inspired basic research or design-based research: scientific studies result both in fundamental knowledge about how people learn and practical solutions for educational problems. Design-based research is one of the hallmarks of the University of Twente.

Research
The LLPL Lab specializes in research on (adaptive) expertise and the professional development of healthcare professionals. The scope of the research ranges from professional identity development of undergraduate technical medical students to workplace-based assessment of experienced surgeons. The research program is closely aligned with educational development within the healthcare curricula of the University of Twente. National and international collaborations strengthen our approach.

Projects
Current Projects
- DUTCH
DUTCH is a national programme that aims to increase training capacity through simulation-based training interwoven with clinical training. This results in increased efficiency in training and encourages lifelong learning and development. In this way, we reduce staff shortages in care, retain skilled healthcare professionals and shorten waiting lists.
- The Role of Simulated Patients in Student Learning
Annelies Lovink’s PhD project involves unpacking the influence of simulated patients on students learning. Her research includes interview studies with students and simulated patients and a stimulated recall study to unravel how the interactions between students and SPs contribute to students’ learning.
- Evaluation of the National Bronchoscopy Simulation Training Program
Eveline Gerretsen’s PhD project involves the scientific evaluation of a national bronchoscopy simulation training programme. She investigates the impact of pre-testing on post-test bronchoscopy, the validity of the assessment tools developed for this programme and the overall effectiveness of the intervention.
Completed projects
- NRO Adapt at Work (2020–2024)
The Adapt at Work project was a practice-based research project in higher education on the development of adaptive expertise in work-based learning contexts (2020-2024).
The report can be found here.
- NRO Onbedoelde effecten van selectie in de geneeskundeopleiding
In this NRO project, the unintended effects of selection on the diversity of the medical student population and the applicant pool were investigated (2019-2023).
The report can be found here.
- Mastertheses 2023-2024: Teacher Decision Making while assessing a student during a simulated patient-student interaction
Bas Klein Schaarsberg investigated the factors influencing communication skills teachers' decision-making during the assessment of student interactions with simulated patients.
The thesis can be found here.
- The Role of Simulated Patients in Students’ Transactive Dialogues: A Qualitative Study
Karlijn Geelkerken investigated the influence of simulated patients during group discussions after feedback sessions after practicing consultations and the level of transactivity in these dialogues
The thesis can be found here.
