Responsibilities and concepts for undergraduate and postgraduate medical education in Germany : A  plea for a reorientation.
DISCUSSION: The dissociation between under- and postgraduate education has historical reasons. Over a longer period of time the German Federal States reduced their responsibility for postgraduate education in favor of medical associations. The authors propose steps towards a better integration of both sequences, towards seeing the educational process as a continuum. In such a concept, medical associations would have a greater influence on undergraduate education and - vice versa - medical faculties on the postgraduate phase.

Significance of the doctorate in scientific medical education.
Abstract According to European and German law, the medical education of physicians must take place in a scientific degree program at a university or under the supervision of a university. To keep up the ideal of a scientific degree program, various organizations and associations, such as the German Research Foundation, the German Council of Science and Humanities and the German Medical Faculty Association, see the need for an even stronger anchoring of academic learning content in the course of study. Traditionally, a scientific project, which is carried out during the studies, provides the basis for the Doct...

Interprofessional approaches in undergraduate medical education.
Abstract Social change and the subsequent increase in the complexity of patient care create new challenges for all health care professionals that can only be met by close collaboration. Good cooperation between professionals from all healthcare backgrounds has proven to be essential and should therefore play a larger role in educational and study contexts.It is for this reason that over the past few years more and more countries are requiring cooperative skills and competencies in formal medical training and consequently implementing this training in their healthcare systems. This is certainly true in countries s...

Digital learning and teaching in medical education : Already there or still at the beginning?
Abstract The current choice of digital teaching and learning formats in medicine is very heterogeneous. In addition to the widely used classical static formats, social communication tools, audio/video-based media, interactive formats, and electronic testing systems enrich the learning environment.For medical students, the private use of digital media is not necessarily linked to their meaningful use in the study. Many gain their experience of digital learning in the sense of "assessment drives learning", especially by taking online exams in a passive, consuming role. About half of all medical students can be refe...

Preparing for a “dirty bomb” attack: the optimum mix of medical countermeasure resources
