Willemke Stilma is a teacher at the BSc Nursing programme and the MSc programme Critical Care. Her courses focus on scientific research (Evidence Based Practice) and clinical reasoning. In February 2017 she started a pre-promotion year at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (AUAS) in collaboration with the Intensive Care Unit of the Amsterdam UMC, location AMC. Since September 2018 she combines teaching with furthering her PhD research into the feasibility, safety and effectiveness of the cough assist devices for invasively ventilated Intensive Care patients.

After studying Dutch Law, Willemke completed the dual BSc Nursing. The specialization for Intensive Care brought her clinical depth and challenge. Her master's degree in Evidence Based Practice enabled her to develop at a scientific level.
