Want to know what it’s like to work at U-center as a psychiatrist? Read the interview with our psychiatrist Eline Berghmans here.<\/p>\n\n
I have worked at several large and small institutions in Limburg and actually since the founding of U-center I have always wanted to work there. I am really a free bird and want to be able to be flexible. I also like to operate in different challenging and complex environments. So when the opportunity to freelance at U-center presented itself five months ago, I didn’t hesitate for a moment.<\/p>\n\n
Contrary to what many of my fellow psychiatrists think, the patient population and thus the work at U-center consists of complex issues. This complexity is sometimes very great, which also makes me really able to add something to the recovery of our patients. I do this together with colleagues on the multidisciplinary teams. I am really impressed with their knowledge and expertise, for example in the field of trauma treatment (EMDR), which is really unique!<\/p>\n\n
My father was a psychologist and health ethicist. I went with him once as a small child to Den Dolder (forensic psychiatric clinic, for the laymen among us: that’s where patients are treated for serious transgressive behavior, often also because of a criminal order), and that made a lasting impression. I actually knew in my second year of medicine, when I did an internship in child and adolescent psychiatry, that that was the direction I wanted to go. It is the complexity of the human mind that I find intriguing.<\/p>\n\n
During an average workday – well, average, of course there’s always something that doesn’t go the way you thought beforehand – my duties include intakes, indications and diagnostics. I also have consultations with my own patients, of course. As a psychiatrist at U-center, you are the spider in the web around the patient. So I work a lot with all the colleagues on the treatment teams.
I have found the colleagues to be incredibly committed and collegial. We work hard and we also have a good time together. In addition, there is also time to participate in (improvement) projects and there is plenty of room for deepening and co-decision making about changes in treatment lines, for example.<\/p>\n\n
As a psychiatrist, I have a lot of autonomy and can contribute to our patients’ recovery in my own way. I really feel at home at U-center.<\/p>\n\n
