By sharing its knowledge of simulation training, KLM aims to support the advancement of the healthcare sector while also contributing to ensuring a sufficient number of well-trained healthcare professionals in the Netherlands.
The healthcare sector is in need of many new professionals. Currently, training takes place entirely in practice. The use of simulation can make the education of healthcare professionals more effective and efficient. DUTCH is a program supported by the National Growth Fund that focuses on innovating the way healthcare professionals are trained. It is a collaboration between hospitals, educational institutions, and the business community, including Erasmus MC and the Ministry of Defence.
At KLM, simulator training has been an essential part of training programs for many years. Now, KLM is applying its knowledge and experience in this area to help the medical sector develop simulation environments for healthcare professionals.
The program is supported by an expert panel with representatives from various sectors such as petrochemicals, maritime, software, nuclear industry, and aviation: sectors where safety and regulation on one hand, and innovation and development on the other, are key priorities.
