Bio Peter Musaeus

Educational scientist and faculty developer, Peter’s passion stems from the fundamental riddle about how health professionals and students learn to model their world and hereby foster their own development and ultimately create healthy patients and communities.

Since 2011, Peter has been tenure track associate professor in health sciences education at CESU. He has done research with physicians, engineers, and psychologists trying to bridge epistemology and empirical research methodologies. He has been visiting professor/scholar at University of Central Florida, UC-Berkeley, University of Sussex and Virginia Tech.

He has lead review committees for PhD-defenses and taught at most Danish Universities and at Bergen University College as course responsible, lecturer, guest lecturer, seminar teacher, or evaluator at all levels of the academic ladder. His background as clinician and licensed psychologist helps him relate to the educational needs of clinical teachers. He is elected board member of the Danish Society for Medical Education (DSMU).

Peter researches how (1) educational technologies mediate students’ conceptual understanding; (2) patterns of physician-patient communication produce patient understanding of conditional risks (3) medical simulation produces team learning?
