werkzaam als Medical child and adolescent psychologist bij General hospital 'Reinier de Graaf Groep'Testimonial Amy van Blitterswijk MSc
“The courses in this specialisation all have a link to practice."
“After three years of theory during my bachelor's study I was looking forward to learning more about the practical side of the field. I was hoping the Child and Adolescent Psychology specialisation would have a more practical focus. Fortunately this happened to be the case. I learned a lot in a very short time... I did my internship at the medical child and adolescent psychology department of a local general hospital, the 'Reinier de Graaf Groep'. After finishing my internship and my master's I was offered a job here as well.
During the day I see a lot of children. I do their intakes, their diagnostics and their short-term treatment, and discuss all these aspects within the multidisciplinary team of which I am a member. The problems of the children differ, from chronic illnesses to unexplained physical complaints and, in small babies, excessive crying. The age of the children is therefore very variable and, of course, I have to deal not only with the children, but also with their parents.
In short: there is so much variety in the field and in my job that I always feel challenged and I am never bored.”
