Implementation Giving responsibility for the development,

organization and implementation of

Module 23 to numerous faculty members

who were not didactical experts we

created a need for knowledge about

medical education. It was satisfied during

regular team meetings, workshops as well

as individual counseling (Fig. 1) and lead

to a new awareness for current topics in

medical education.

By offering a platform to exchange point

of views to teachers of all different

departments we did not only succeed in

implementing an interdisciplinary curri-

culum but also a network of didactical

experts (Fig. 2).

Background In order to reproduce the interdisciplinary approach in patient care in our medical curriculum we implemented an

interdisciplinary clinical year (Module 23). Eight interdisciplinary organ-oriented blocks were set, each of them supervised by an

elected representative and responsible for the organization of their own teaching and assessing.

In order to maintain and improve the current high teaching and organizational standards we needed to develop a system to train

the newly involved faculty members in didactical and organizational skills. We also wanted to ensure the communication among

the new team members to facilitate a process of didactical professionalism on a broad basis.
