has completed the following course:
Language Testing During Awake Brain Surgery
University of Groningen and University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG)
This was a 6-week online course introducing language testing in awake brain surgery, and required around 3 hours of study per week. It explored the roles of the different clinical disciplines in this complex surgical procedure as well as the steps required to design linguistic tests for the use during surgery. Participants developed their own sample test selection, piloted it and analysed the results.
