Sara L. Schooten, MSc

Technical Medicine Master Student
Amsterdam UMC
Zwolle, Overijssel, Netherlands

In July 2025, I completed my Master’s degree in Electromechanical Heart Diseases at the University of Bordeaux. I am currently finalizing my Master’s in Technical Medicine at the University of Twente, which I expect to complete in May. Through various international medical internships, I have gained valuable clinical experience that I am eager to integrate with my technical expertise to improve clinical procedures, diagnostics, and treatment plans within the field of cardiology.
My graduation research focuses on improving 12-lead ECG recordings inside the MRI environment, in collaboration with Amsterdam UMC (The Netherlands) and the Stephenson Cardiac Imaging Centre (Calgary). This work has potential applications in interventional CMR (iCMR), stress-perfusion imaging, and more accurate monitoring of patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs).
