Sari Vähämäki

I work as a Lecturer at the Health Institute at Jamk University of Applied Sciences. I teach and supervise bachelor's and master's degree students, particularly in international nursing education. My areas of expertise and professional interest include language and culturally responsive approaches to teaching and clinical supervision, as well as pedagogical solutions that support future competence needs. I am especially interested in workplace pedagogy and the career pathways of nurses in an increasingly multicultural healthcare sector and a more diverse society.
Drawing on my experience in clinical nursing practice, I am particularly interested in care provided in clients’ homes and home-like environments, as well as in promoting the well-being, participation and functional ability of older adults.
