With a background in paediatric emergency medicine, Professor Eppich used qualitative and mixed methods approaches to study topics related to interprofessional collaborative practice, team reflection, healthcare debriefing, and team adaption. He earned a PhD in Medical Education from Maastricht University. He has co-authored over 80 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters. He collaborates with team and organisational psychologists to study team processes both in and outside healthcare.
