The Knowledgecenter has a Clinimetrics working group, consisting of researchers with interest in clinimetrics and methodology development from different departments and institutes of the VU University, VU University Medical Center, and some other research institutes. The groups aims to improve the knowledge on clinimetrics by writing methodological scientific articles on clinimetric issues and by performing methodological and applied clinimetric research.
Employees of the Knowledgecenter are responsible for consultations, education, and research and have expertise in clinimetrics, psychometrics, and medical informatics.
