Training to be a Specialist
Physician in Learning Disability
Courses:
The "Voortgezette academische opleiding - Gehandicaptenzorg" is a
specialised training program designed for physicians who are working in the
field of care for disabled people. It is a two-year inter-university program,
co-ordinated alternately by four Flemish universities (KUL, RUG, UIA and VUB).
The program focuses on all medical aspects of care for disabled people
(prevention, causes and treatment) as well as on other aspects such as
behavioural sciences and legal questions.
The first of the two year course mainly treats the general aspects of
1) organization and legal aspects of health care
2) behavioural sciences and developmental psychology
3) paramedic planning and approach
4) medical/biological sciences.
During the second year a more in-depth approach is taken to certain subjects
discussed in the first year.
