PMhealth Workshop–Psychometrics and Metrology in the Health Sciences 2025
The 2025 PMhealth Workshop on Psychometrics and Metrology in the Health Sciences will be held at Kristianstad University on 12-13 June 2025.
The PMhealth Workshop 2025 will be participant driven. That is, it will be based on issues and discussion points attendees wish to address. All participants are therefore encouraged to present a question, discussion topic, current issue, or any other relevant subject they are working on, find significant, or believe may be of interest to others. We will plan the details together when we meet.
The detailed program will be determined on-site based on the topics proposed by the participants. Please note that PMhealth is not an "expert group" but welcomes contributions from both experienced professionals and beginners in the field.
The fundamental idea is that everyone can learn from everyone!
We therefore encourage all participants to bring ideas on what they would like to discuss. Those who propose contributions to the program are expected to present a brief background so that all participants are introduced to the topic. The format of the presentation is free, and PowerPoint or similar is not required. The presentation will be followed by (or integrated with) an open discussion, which will ideally move the topic forward and generate new knowledge for both the presenter and the audience. In general, the discussion part is expected to be the main focus. The time allocated for each session will be adjusted based on the number of discussion points and their content.
The workshop will be conducted in English.
