Staff Academy Interview: Sarah Darwiche, Susanne Magnusson. Skövde 2026

Описание: In this interview series we have a conversation with the presenters of the winter 2026 Staff Academy workshops. The Staff Academy is an event where educators meet to share, transfer, and showcase innovative pedagogical methodologies within the European University INGENIUM.

Sarah Darwiche, Susanne Magnusson: From Medical Chaos to Classroom - Forging the modern emergency care for nursing students – an innovative approach to examination, teaching, learning
and assessment

This workshop presents an innovative pedagogical approach called Patient Case Discussion, developed within the nursing education program at the University of Skövde. The method combines individual analytical preparation, peer-based reasoning, and structured reflection to promote deep learning in acute and complex care situations. Through an initial individual quiz, students ensure baseline knowledge in pathophysiology, then engage in designing and discussing own-constructed patient cases using structured clinical interview tools (SAMPLER, OPQRST). The format enhances clinical reasoning, collaboration, and self-assessment, while serving as an examination without a traditional written test. During the workshop, participants will experience core elements of the method and explore how the pedagogical design can be transferred to other disciplines.

This event was hosted by the University of Skövde within the 10 Days of INGENIUM framework in February 2026. The event is held twice a year, and the content is shared publicly on https://ingenium-university.eu/ingeni... The Staff Academy events consist of ten individual sessions, each lasting an hour, with one from each partner university. The sessions are based on proposals submitted by INGENIUM staff implementing innovative learning methodologies or those wishing to develop them in cooperation with others. The Staff Academy sessions allow participants to gain and enhance their teaching and facilitation skills by providing additional time for hands-on learning and interaction with colleagues from diverse backgrounds and fields. It will also provide an appropriate framework for knowledge sharing and transfer, offer new networking opportunities, and open avenues for enhanced cooperation with the INGENIUM network.
