Beitrag

The efforts of the University of Hamburg -supported by DAAD, DAAD Stability Pact, Hochschulrektorenkonferenz and EU- aim at improving medical education on all steps of medical doctor's development. Short-range aim is to establish a SEEwide level, long-range aim is to approach to an EU-wide level of medical education and medical care standard.

The curriculum reform process in SEE is focused on the following topics

  • Catalogue of Knowledge & Skills,
  • Collecting data on the current state of curriculum reform in SEE an comparison with EU-Standard,
  • Collecting ideas of reform especially in horizontal integration (e.g. physiology - cardiology), vertical integration (e.g. chemistry - biochemistry - diabetes),
  • ECTS,
  • Evaluation, Questionnaries,
  • Exchange of knowledge about level of exams and start of common exams,
  • Start of regional students and teachers exchange programs.

With respect to medicine the region is extremely poor, equipment outdated, teaching facilities antiquated and student/teacher relationship still as in the 1950's. So a lot has to be done, hopefully the Bologna-Process will help.
