Training

Since 1996, Niemeijer Consult provides a series of intensive courses on medical research methods at graduate and post-graduate levels at the Medical Faculty of the University of Tuzla (Bosnia). These courses cover subjects such as clinical epidemiology, research design in medicine, planning of research and sampling issues in medical research, data-analysis, and bio-statistics. The courses include guidance with thesis research of students at graduate and post-graduate levels.

Treatment of victims of war

Niemeijer Consult is actively involved in training and supervision of Bosnian therapists (psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses, and educators) of war victims such as refugees, war orphans, and war invalids. From 1996, a yearly series of three one-week workshops has been organized by Niemeijer Consult for this purpose. In the first year, these workshops focused on the traumatic experiences of the therapists themselves, while demonstrating the use of different therapeutic techniques. Since, the focus has shifted to supervision and detailed discussion of case material presented by the participants.
