The MVO Learning Center advises training providers on the quality of postgraduate medical training programs and offers guidance and support in various areas. The professional development of educators, medical specialists, and physicians in training to become medical specialists is also part of the MVO Leerhuis’s responsibilities.

In this way, you will not only contribute to the quality of today’s healthcare but also to the quality of care for tomorrow’s patients.

The CSR Learning Center is part of the Education & Training division at Amsterdam UMC. You will work closely with the various medical residency programs, the Central Training Committee, the Resident Physicians’ Council, and the Board of Directors. The region is also an important partner.

The CSR Learning Center is made up of a passionate team where collaboration is highly valued. Your colleagues will be happy to guide you through your onboarding period. After the onboarding period (which will mainly take place on-site), you will work—just like the rest of the team—at both Amsterdam UMC locations as well as from home. Mondays and Thursdays are designated on-site days for team meetings.
