New ways in the biometrical education within the scope of the medicine study – individual qualification profiles

Abstract

By the revision of the 'Approbationsordnung für Ärzte' from June 27, 2002 the Medical faculties must offer compulsory elective courses. In addition, the science council has demanded the support of the scientific education of students and young researcher in medicine. Here we present our approach to consolidate both aspects and provide some ideas how to intensify and extend teaching within epidemiology, medical biometry and medical informatics (called Q1 course).
