Lia Fluit works at the Radboudumc Health Academy where she leads the research group Research Learning Education. Her research and teaching focus on creating stimulating, powerful, and safe learning and working environments to provide professionals with the context needed to realize innovative, person-centered care and effectively train emerging professionals.
