"The EPH study programme was a great programme for me. It gave me the intellectual challenge that I was looking for. The topics covered were varied and highly informative at the same time.

I enjoyed learning about European health systems and having a diverse set of international peers to discuss their experiences with their national health systems. The bridge between theory and real-world practices was the best aspect of the programme for me.

The group dynamics during lectures and group meetings were interesting due to the different cultural and personal interpretations of health and quality of life. The Problem-Based Learning method was a good way to practice discussion skills and I felt encouraged to express ideas since the method provided for a supportive and intellectually stimulating setting.

Moreover, I quickly learned how to speak about complex issues in English. This gave me more ways to express myself and this helped me to understand more of the world and the people around me. It helped me to develop myself and help others around me more effectively. 

In my current work at EUFAMI in Belgium as Projects and Communications Coordinator, I work (in person and virtually) with people from all over Europe, on projects to improve the lives of families affected by loved ones with mental ill health. EPH gave me the interpersonal skills and intellectual know-how to work confidently on various health topics, including mental health."
