werkzaam als PhD bij Leiden University Medical CentreTestimonial Laura a'Campo MSc
“I am conducting research on the effectiveness of a psychosocial education programme for patients and partners.”
“I have always been interested in the medical and psychological aspects of human beings. This is why I was so attracted to neuropsychology, which combines both these interests. I really enjoy neuropsychological theory, and during my internship at a psychogeriatric nursing home I had my first practical experience with treating patients and dealing with their families... Most of the patients I study are suffering from Parkinson's or Huntington's disease, but some also have other diseases. My job is particularly fulfilling and enjoyable because of the variety of patients I treat and because, as well as conducting research, I also have the opportunity to apply and learn about different psychosocial treatments. There are currently three master's students involved in my research and I am their thesis supervisor.
What I most appreciated about my master's was that it was very variable, from theory to testing and applying treatment skills in practice. It was an excellent preparation for this job, which has just the same kind of variable challenges.”
