Last Friday (8 June), Scott Maurits won the Teacher of the Year award for the second year of the bachelor biomedical sciences.

He won this award for his lectures and computer assignments in the module of cancer epidemiology. Scott was very happy and honored to receive such a price. Rogier Donders was also nominated as Teacher of the Year by the first year students of both Biomedical Sciences and Medicine for his lectures on biostatistics! However, Ineke van der Zee got away with that price. Scott beat both highly appreciated colleagues Thom Oostendorp and Saskia van Helm and received his price at an award ceremony at the Aesculaaf. Currently, Scott is a teacher for Epidemiology and Biostatistics and he is doing his PhD on body composition and prognosis in kidney cancer at the department for Health Evidence.

Scott Maurits is member of theme Urological cancers.
