Michel Grøntvedt van Schaardenburgh
About
Michel van Schaardenburgh is an Associate Professor in the Clinical Anatomy Group at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) and a specialist in general medicine. As the group leader, Michel brings a unique combination of academic expertise, leadership, and a strong passion for advancing anatomy education.
Since assuming the role of group leader in 2019, he has been a driving force in elevating the group to new heights. Under his leadership, the group has grown significantly in both scope and quality, with an increase in the number of instructors and teaching assistants, as well as the implementation of increasingly innovative and clinically relevant learning methods. Michel has particularly focused on integrating modern pedagogical principles, including case-based learning, radiology, and extended reality (XR) in education. His project involving the use of XR in formative assessments, supported by NTNU Top Teaching, has been well received by first year medical students.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Michel played a crucial role in restructuring anatomy education. He strengthened the role of dissection instructors and ensured that students continued to receive high-quality learning experiences despite the challenging circumstances. His efforts, along with the group's collective work, were recognized when the Clinical Anatomy Group won the award for best teaching in the department in 2021 for their anatomical collection project.
Michel's teaching philosophy emphasizes the importance of social interaction in the learning process. He works closely with teaching assistants, students, and colleagues to ensure that the education provided is both motivating and challenging. Through his dedication, he has fostered a dynamic and supportive learning environment that inspires everyone involved to perform at their best.
When not focused on leading the group, Michel is actively involved in the development of teaching materials, mentoring, and planning. His overarching goal is to ensure that the Clinical Anatomy Group remains a leading resource in the education of future healthcare professionals.
