Clinical training, lectures, group work, written assignments, logs, simulations at the simulation and skills centre and self-study. Each clinical training course consists of 5 weeks of practice with direct patient contact, where a 5-day week is carried out, ie 37.5 hours per week. For each clinical training course, there are an additional 2 weeks of simulation, reflection and assignments.

All clinical training have different compulsory activities and tasks in the implementation. See chapter on Clinical training.

In addition, the following must be approved before the final assessment can be done:

• Practical test at the simulation and skills centre
• Student-BEST

This course provides an overview of behavioral economics for students and professionals interested in behavioral science. Whereas the focus is on a behavior analytic framework of choice behavior and decision-making, the course is highly interdisciplinary, as it includes concepts and cases drawn from economic, psychological, and social sciences.

Admission to the study program

On successful completion of the course, the student has the following learning outcomes classified as knowledge, skills and competence:

• discuss how nudging can affect choice behavior, and analyze nudging in behavioral analytic terms
• discuss the concept of selection at the behavioral and cultural level in relation to micro- and macroeconomics

Competence

The student can

• present core principles of behavioral economics to others in a way that meets the requirements of professional scientific communication
• present core principles of behavioral economics to the Public
• discuss how behavior analysis can contribute to the field of behavioral economics
• present evidence based research from behavioral economics, and discuss different methods and Applications
• discuss how the field of behavioral economics can contribute to further understanding of choice behavior
