- Abstract
Objective: The present study deals with the implementation of a questionnaire with 360° evaluation to assess the performance of students in the practical year (PJ). A special focus is put on the "soft skills" (self-competence, methodological competence, social competence), whose evaluation in medical studies has not yet taken place comprehensively., Material & Methods: The study was conducted prospectively with 21 PJ students of the Medical Faculty of the TU Dresden. The assessment was performed by means of a self-designed questionnaire, which was divided into 4 sub-competencies (self-competence, methodological competence, social competence, clinical skills and abilities), which could be assessed by means of a 6-point Likert scale. Four professions were involved in the assessment: Medical Service, Nursing Service, Functional Service, and Administration., Results: On average, the strongest deficits in terms of self-confidence, willingness to perform, and ability to deal with conflict were revealed by students in the PJ. Students showed a very good performance in performing a medical history and basic skills of clinical examination., Conclusion: The implementation of 360° feedback is possible and useful for students in the internship year across disciplines and professions. Such personal and interprofessional feedback has not been widely available. The questionnaire represents the first comprehensive measurement tool of soft skills for medical students and provides a good basis for comprehensive feedback., Competing Interests: Die Autorinnen/Autoren geben an, dass kein Interessenkonflikt besteht., (Thieme.

- Abstract
Background: Analogous to the situation in other disciplines, digital ENT teaching made significant progress during the pandemic. Most ENT clinics nationwide were able to offer a complete virtual teaching program in time. Innovative teaching methods were also used early on. This was recognized in student teaching evaluations. Due to the expansion of virtual reality (VR) in medical teaching, even greater satisfaction should be expected through improved teaching quality., Materials and Methods: Surveys were performed with students (n = 180) of the ENT block internship in the summer semester of 2023. The aim of the evaluation was to determine the students' satisfaction with and subjective effectiveness of the newly implemented VR digital teaching method for teaching ear anatomy and coniotomy. A survey was also carried out among resident physicians., Results: The ENT teaching was perceived favorably by the students, with an average rating of 11.7 out of 15. The learning effectiveness and the value of VR in the ENT learning portfolio was evaluated varyingly by the students. The physicians' assessment was different, with a more positive perception., Conclusion: Virtual reality represents an innovative component in the teaching portfolio of otolaryngology. This new teaching method is viewed and accepted as a future-oriented tool. Remarkably, the physicians involved voted consistently positively, while the students gave more critical assessments and pointed out limitations in the individual and subjective areas. These findings are in contrast to the further development of innovative teaching methods demanded by student interest groups., (© 2024. The Author(s).)

- Abstract
Background: In the context of contact restrictions, conventional teaching is currently in need of optimization and expansion. The range of digital teaching formats in student training is very heterogeneous and their effectiveness uncertain. This study aims to investigate the extent to which an electronic ward round can be used as an alternative to the conventional ENT attendance practical course, and whether the use of electronic teaching formats has an influence on the quality of teaching., Materials and Methods: Instead of regular attendance practicals, bedside teaching took place once a week in real time as a video stream via tablet. A total of 43 students in the seventh semester (winter semester 2020/2021) were included in the prospective study. Evaluation forms were used to examine the subjective didactic value of different visualization formats for the students. Examination results from previous years were used for comparison., Results: The majority of students reported knowledge gain from the electronic rounds (93.02%) and that they were a good alternative to the traditional attendance clerkship (69.77%). The quality of the video and audio transmission as well as the comprehensibility of the case studies presented were consistently rated as good to very good. The students' examination results tended to be slightly worse in the test group compared to the control students of previous years., Conclusion: Integration of innovative interactive visualization options into teaching shows promising prospects as a supplement to conventional face-to-face teaching. The results of this study can contribute to the further expansion of digital teaching. Scaling up this model could be considered especially in countries with limited availability of face-to-face teaching., (© 2024. The Author(s).)

- Abstract
Background: Technological change in healthcare and the digital transformation of teaching require innovations in student teaching in medicine. New technologies are needed to enable the delivery and use of diverse teaching and learning formats by educational institutions independent of time and place. The aim of this study is to analyze the effectiveness of different multidimensional formats in student teaching in surgical ENT medical anatomy., Materials and Methods: During the summer semester 2022 and winter semester 2022/2023, the digital teaching and learning program was expanded by testing different visualization formats (3D glasses, cardboards, or VR glasses) with students in the context of a highly standardized surgical procedure, namely cochlear implantation. A pre- and post-intervention knowledge assessment was carried out in all groups, followed by an evaluation., Results: Of 183 students, 91 students fully participated in the study. The post-intervention knowledge assessment showed a significant increase in correct answers regardless of visualization format. In a direct comparison, the operating room (OR) group answered correctly significantly more often than the cardboard group (p = 0.0424). The majority of students would like to see 3D teaching as an integral part of the teaching program (87.9%) and more streaming of live surgeries (93.4%). They see the use of the various technologies as a very good addition to conventional surgical teaching (72.5%), as good visualization (89%) increases retention (74.7%) and motivation (81.3%)., Conclusion: Application and use of new visualization technologies in everyday clinical practice is a promising approach to expanding student training. Mobile, interactive, and personalized technical formats can be adapted to the learning behavior of students. Last but not least, the use of new media influences learning motivation. An expansion of digital teaching and learning formats can be expressly recommended on the basis of this study., (© 2024. The Author(s).)

- Abstract
Background: Due to their clinical training and secondary activities in the hospital, medical students are exposed to contact with SARS-CoV-2 infected people more often than the general population. We determined the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies in medical students in clinical training at different times during the pandemic and asked participants about possible SARS-CoV-2 exposures in both medical and private settings., Methods: From May 2020 to June 2021, medical students each in their 3rd year of training at the University Hospital Würzburg participated in the cross-sectional survey. All SARS-CoV-2 unvaccinated students were offered a determination of their SARS-CoV-2 serostatus. The blood samples were tested by an immunoassay (Elecsys, Roche) for IgG/IgM/IgA antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 N antigen. Demographic data, SARS-CoV-2 disease and vaccination status, as well as possible SARS-CoV-2 exposures were collected using a questionnaire., Results: Overall, 383 (86.1%) of 445 students took part in the cross-sectional survey (65% female; median age 22 years; IQR 21-24). Serostatus was determined in 223 (58.2% of 383) SARS-CoV-2 unvaccinated participants. In the period between the beginning of the pandemic in Germany (February 2020) and the time of the survey, 332 (86.7% of 383) students stated that they worked in the medical field, mainly in the context of clinical traineeships (76.8%) or secondary activities with patient contact (48.8%); 129 (33.7%) reported previous contact with a COVID-19 patient, of which 78.3% of contacts took place at a medical facility. Antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 were detected in 8 (3.6%) of the 223 unvaccinated participants tested, and in 3 infected persons an association between infection and contact in the course of medical activity seemed likely., Conclusion: Despite frequent patient contact and the associated increased risk of infection, medical students in their 3rd year of training did not show an increased seroprevalence compared to the general population and showed a lower or similar seroprevalence rate than medical students in other European countries in the first 18 months of the pandemic. This indicates sufficient protection of medical students at the beginning of clinical training through the hygiene and infection protection measures implemented at that time during medical activities., Competing Interests: MK erhält Beratungshonorare von Abbott, GSK und Pfizer ohne Verbindung zum Inhalt des Manuskripts.

- Abstract
Background: The German Society for Rheumatology, through its campaign Rheuma2025, aims to improve student teaching in order to ensure patient care for rheumatological patients in the future., Objective: To assess whether a combination of traditional and innovative educational methods provide both an improvement in the quality of teaching and an increase in the attractiveness of rheumatology as a discipline., Material and Methods: Establishment of the teaching concept "Rheuma (be-)greifen" consisting of five modules on patient history taking with acting patients, musculoskeletal ultrasound, arthrocentesis, 3D printing of pathological joints and virtual reality applications based on real patient cases in the curricular teaching of medical students., Results: The evaluation of the teaching concept with 93 students of medicine showed a consistently high acceptance of all modules, which were rated as very effective or rather effective. Direct patient-related modules, such as history taking with acting patients, musculoskeletal ultrasound and arthrocentesis, received even higher acceptance than the visualization methods utilizing 3D printing and virtual reality., Conclusion: Innovative teaching methods can help to improve the acceptance of teaching in the field of rheumatology, especially when combined with classical teaching contents., (© 2023.

- Abstract
Background: The excellent project "LandArztMacher" is an attempt to work against the predicted shortage of rural doctors in Germany with diverse approaches., Method: "LandArztMacher" is a clinical traineeship with four weeks of practical training in general practices and clinics in the Bavarian countryside, accompanied by joint professional teaching. Participants were asked before and after the internship about the topics "importance of an internship in rural areas"; "attractiveness of rural areas" (scale: 0/no agreement to 10/full agreement). Ideas about the tasks of a general practitioner were assessed (scale: 0/no idea at all to 100/exact idea). The present study is a repeated cross-sectional study. The median is reported as the location measure and the interquartile range as the dispersion measure., Results: Participants (n=363, 74% female, n=267, age: range 19-46 years, mean: 23.2 years, SD: 2.41 years) from the clinical section of the medical studies considered an internship in the rural area before and after the internship very important (median: 8 and 9, respectively) and could well imagine working in the countryside (median: 7 and 8, respectively). Their attitude towards the cultural offerings or the infrastructure did not change (median: 6 in each case). After the internship, the students had a more precise idea of what a general practitioner tasks are (median: 65 and 90, respectively)., Summary: A well-structured four-week rural internship can enhance the appeal of future rural employment through individual supervision and collaborative training., Competing Interests: Die Autorinnen/Autoren geben an, dass kein Interessenkonflikt besteht., (The Author(s).

- Abstract
Background: German university otorhinolaryngology has a need for digital teaching content. Case-based e‑learning represents a digital teaching methodology. The data on student use of case-based e‑learning in university teaching of ENT medicine are limited., Objective: The aim of this work was to determine the extent to which voluntary case-based e‑learning is used by otolaryngology students and what influence the quality of the e‑learning has on motivation to use e‑learning and on the interest in otolaryngology., Materials and Methods: Fifteen voluntary e‑learning cases were created based on the content of the ENT lecture in the winter semester 2022/2023. Subsequently, a descriptive evaluation of the usage statistics of the cases of 157 students was conducted. Likewise, an evaluation of the quality of the e‑learning as well as the motivation to complete it and the interest in otorhinolaryngology was carried out using a voluntary questionnaire., Results: Voluntary case-based e‑learning was used to varying degrees by 66% of the students. The quality of e‑learning correlated significantly with the motivation and the interest in otolaryngology., Conclusion: The teaching content of otorhinolaryngology can be implemented sufficiently in case-based e‑learning and is characterized by satisfactory student acceptance. Integration should be accomplished in a high-quality manner to increase motivation and interest in otorhinolaryngology., (© 2024. The Author(s).)

- Abstract
Background: The flipped classroom (FC) is nowadays a popular principle of blended student-centered learning. Students first prepare basic knowledge at home and subsequently meet for consolidation and a more in-depth look at a certain topic. During the COVID-19 pandemic, several groups developed approaches to also transform the characteristic FC second session into an online-only format., Objective: Herein, we present a pilot study on establishing an online-only FC format with elements of collaborative learning and its evaluation by medical students., Materials and Methods: The FC design related to diseases of the salivary glands was transformed into an online-only event. After studying the basic information online, supported by self-made interactive videos and/or lecture recordings, students met in a video conference enriched by breakout sessions, interactive demonstration of the related clinical examination including ultrasound, and a formative assessment. A questionnaire with 27 items was answered by participants to evaluate the concept and the event., Results: Use of common hard- and software systems led to a technically stable video conference. A total of 55 students completed the questionnaire and were included into data analysis. During the breakout sessions, lively interaction between participants was observed. The evaluation of both the event itself and the related learning progress showed good results despite the lack of preparation beforehand in 27% of participants., Conclusion: Online-only FC designs can result in high satisfaction. High quality of online preparation, a solid technical platform, accurate time management, and a reasonable selection of topics are the main parameters contributing to successful course design. Nowadays, embedding medical imaging can be realized in appropriate quality for educational purposes. The implementation of breakout sessions and voting tools enables collaborative online learning with high levels of interaction and satisfaction for both teachers and students., (© 2024.

- Abstract
Background: Medical interaction and exploration techniques are the most important tools that medical students have to acquire in the subject of psychiatry and psychotherapy. The new digital technologies currently available, such as virtual reality (VR), as important supplements can contribute to a significant improvement in the teaching of psychiatric-psychopathological learning content as well as, in particular, the technique of ascertaining the psychiatric history and diagnosis., Objective: Evaluation of the Bochum Avatar Exploration Project (AVEX) as part of the curricular course in medical studies at the Ruhr University Bochum for its possibilities to convey learning content and techniques of anamnesis and diagnosis in the subject of psychiatry and psychotherapy., Methods: In AVEX, a total of 87 medical students in the clinical study section have so far been able to enter into a dialogue with "mentally ill" avatars and gain experience with VR technology as a learning and teaching method in the subject of psychiatry and psychotherapy., Results: Despite the limited possibilities for interaction with the digital avatars, it is possible to achieve a substantial transfer of learning content in psychiatry; however, the students must be well supported by the lecturers., Conclusion: The AVEX project already shows promising possibilities for supplementing the teaching of medical students, even if the fit of questions and replies in dialogue with the virtual avatars still needs to be improved. As advances in the linguistic communication of emotions and the visual effects of the avatar representation can be predicted, the significance of this technology will continue to increase., (© 2024.

- Abstract
Background: In the course of the restructuring of medical studies, practical competencies are clearly defined as learning objectives for the first time. In order to make most effective use of the short attendance time available in otolaryngology, the aim of this study was to teach practical skills with the help of flipped classroom, digital teaching, and a newly established SkillsLab., Materials and Methods: During their ENT internship, two groups of students-group A = 93 students (male n = 42, female n = 51) and group B = 113 students (male n = 42, female n = 71)-first worked through material provided online, which explained the individual examinations. This was followed by face-to-face teaching, which consisted of observation and practical exercise of the different examination techniques. While group A practiced on each other or on dummies, group B used structured workstations in the ENT SkillsLab, which was newly built for this purpose. The effects on motivation and subjective competence were measured using a questionnaire developed for this study., Results: After working through the online material, both groups showed a high level of motivation and competence. On the day of face-to-face teaching, there was a gain in motivation and competence, which was statistically significant only in the SkillsLab group (p < 0.001). Although the SkillsLab group was inferior in terms of its subjective competence at the beginning, it was superior to the other group after the face-to-face teaching., Conclusion: Combination of digitized teaching in the flipped classroom with structured workstations in the setting of a SkillsLab enables more effective teaching of practical skills, which was reflected by increases in motivation and subjective competence in group B. In particular, the presentation of all collected findings on monitors allows verification of learning success and stimulates discussion., (© 2024. The Author(s).)

- Abstract
Background: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, contact restrictions occurred worldwide, which affected medical schools as well. It was not possible to hold classroom lectures. Teaching contents had to be converted to a digital curriculum within a very short time. Conditions for assessments posed an even greater challenge. For example, solutions had to be found for objective structured clinical examinations (OSCE), which were explicitly forbidden in some German states. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of an OSCE under pandemic conditions., Materials and Methods: At the end of the 2020 summer semester, 170 students completed a combined otolaryngology and ophthalmology OSCE. Examinations were held in small groups over the course of 5 days and complied with strict hygiene regulations. The ophthalmology exam was conducted face to face, and the ENT OSCE virtually. Students were asked to rate the OSCE afterwards., Results: Between 106 and 118 of the students answered the questions. Comparing the face-to-face OSCE with the virtual OSCE, about 49% preferred the face-to-face OSCE and 17% preferred the virtual OSCE; 34% found both variants equally good. Overall, the combination of an ENT and ophthalmology OSCE was rated as positive., Conclusion: It is possible to hold an OSCE even under pandemic conditions. For optimal preparation of the students, among other things, it is necessary to transform teaching contents to a digital curriculum. The combination of an ENT and ophthalmology OSCE was positively evaluated by the students, although the face-to-face OSCE was preferred. The overall high satisfaction of the students confirms the feasibility of a virtual examination with detailed and well-planned preparation., (© 2024. The Author(s).)

- Abstract
Background: Digital medicine has become increasingly important, especially with the growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) and telemedicine. The COVID 19 pandemic has accelerated this trend and emphasized the need for digital competencies in healthcare. However, digital competencies have been insufficiently taught in medical school to date., Objective: The introduction of an elective course in digital competencies in medicine fills a curricular gap at the Medical Faculty of the University of Freiburg., Methods: The elective course was developed by an interdisciplinary working group and includes seven modules on topics such as e‑health, telemedicine, AI, hospital information systems, and data literacy. Each module consists of a preparatory self-study unit, a theoretical part, and a practical part. An evaluation was conducted to assess the effectiveness of the elective., Results: Six students participated in the elective course in the summer semester of 2022. The evaluation shows that the goals of the course were achieved. The participants were able to acquire theoretical knowledge and deepen it through practical exercises., Conclusion: The interdisciplinary design of the course promotes exchange between students and teachers and creates synergies. The modular format of the course also allows for current topics, such as generative AI, to be addressed. In order to promote digital competencies among all students of human medicine, it is necessary to integrate the topics into the mandatory curriculum., (© 2024. The Author(s).)

- Abstract
Background: In 2017, the Federal Constitutional Court ruled several aspects of the German student admission process unconstitutional. Consequently, the waiting time quota was replaced by an aptitude quota in 2020. Students are now allowed to simultaneously apply to all German medical faculties and an adjustment algorithm for school leaving grades from different federal states was introduced. The present study investigates the impact of these changes on the new study cohorts., Methods: Records from the federal admission trust were used to compare the final two winter semesters before the change to the first three thereafter., Results and Discussion: The impact of the new procedure on students with previous medical training cannot yet be conclusively assessed. While grade point average (GPA) and sex of the students remained comparable and students still prefer to study close to home; however, they have become younger. The adjustment for school leaving grades indeed led to equal opportunities for the individual applicant; however, this may aggravate the shortage of rural doctors. The current adjustment mechanism considers applicant numbers, yet less people apply from rural areas while at the same time these areas suffer from a shortage of physicians. As rural upbringing and education are the best predictors of rural practice after licensing, the shortage may worsen. To counteract this, the compensation mechanism for the school leaving grades could easily be adjusted., (© 2024. The Author(s).)

- Abstract
In dental education, the assessment of clinical activities is especially important, as students start to perform treatments on real patients beginning in the seventh semester. When entering the final exam, students must be capable of carrying out all treatments of a dental professional, as they will exercise their profession as dentists directly after the exam. During dental training, preparation for the performance of dental activities in a clinical context is achieved through preclinical coursework and early patient contact before the seventh semester to enhance competencies. In the course of developing the iMED DENT curriculum of undergraduate dental training at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE), a catalogue of entrustable professional activities (EPAs) has been defined. An EPA comprises a clinical procedure (e.g., fitting of a crown) corresponding to the students' level of competency at the time of performance. Each EPA includes teaching within the three core competencies: "theoretical knowledge," "clinical skills," and "patient communication." The applied assessment formats have to ensure that the feedback given on clinical performance contains all relevant competencies. The EPAs are evaluated using a graded "ABCD assessment" scheme (A = very good, B = good, C = bad, D = activity was not completed/incomplete). The assessment scheme serves as a tool for feedback to improve learning success and at the same time for evaluation of examinations during the course of studies., (© 2023. The Author(s).)

Due to the corona pandemic and also to the new competence-oriented catalogue of learning objectives in medicine and the master plan for medical studies 2020, the development of digital and practical teaching concepts has experienced a great increase in importance.As a result of this development, it was an important task to establish this combination and incorporate it into the curricular teaching process.The "Toolkit dermatology" was established, which was sent to a total of more than 650 students at German university dermatology clinics. Using educational films, the students were able to practice their skills. In a further development, the toolkit was combined with classroom lectures and the students were asked to evaluate the toolkit online.The vast majority of students (95-100%) clearly stated that the toolkit helped them to develop their practical skills. Some of them were in fact motivated to complete a clinical traineeship/practical tertial year in dermatology (21-88%). The combination of toolkit and subsequent classroom teaching was also rated very positively (82.2%), as this hybrid mode of teaching provided a better understanding.Digital teaching formats as part of the concept of blended learning, i.e. the combination of virtual and analogue teaching formats, are becoming increasingly more important. Solutions for the disadvantages, such as the lack of real interaction and suitable examination formats, still remain to be found; however, the toolkit project demonstrates that hands-on and digital teaching can lead to high student motivation as well as a high educational standard.HINTERGRUND: Im Rahmen der Corona-Pandemie, aber auch durch den neuen kompetenzenorientierten Lernzielkatalog Medizin und den Masterplan Medizinstudium 2020 hat die Entwicklung digitaler und praktischer Lehrkonzepte einen großen Bedeutungszuwachs erfahren.Im Zuge dieser Entwicklungen stellte sich die Aufgabe, diese Kombination zu etablieren und in den curricularen Lehrablauf zu integrieren.Es folgte die Erstellung des „Toolkits Dermatologie“, das an insgesamt mehr als 650 Studierende an deutschen universitären Hautkliniken verschickt wurde. Anhand von Lehrfilmen konnten die Studierenden ihre praktischen Fertigkeiten trainieren. Im weiteren Verlauf wurde das Toolkit in Kombination zu Präsenzveranstaltungen eingesetzt, und die Studierenden konnten das Toolkit online evaluieren.Die überwiegende Mehrheit (95–100 %) der Studierenden gab an, dass das Toolkit ihnen beim Ausbau ihrer praktischen Fertigkeiten geholfen habe. Bei einigen konnte sogar die Motivation für eine Famulatur/PJ(praktisches Jahr)-Tertial in der Dermatologie geweckt werden (21–88 %). Die Verbindung von Toolkit und anschließender Präsenzveranstaltung wurde ebenfalls sehr positiv bewertet (82,2 %), da diese hybride Form der Lehrvermittlung zu einem besseren Verständnis geführt habe.Digitale Lehrformate im Rahmen des Konzeptes „Blended Learning“, also der Kombination von virtuellen und analogen Lehrformaten, gewinnen immer mehr an Bedeutung. Für die Nachteile wie das Fehlen von realer Interaktion und geeigneter Prüfungsformate müssen in Zukunft noch Lösungen gefunden werden. Allerdings zeigt das Toolkit-Projekt, dass eine praktische und digitale Lehre zugleich zu einer hohen Studierendenmotivation und einem hohen Ausbildungsstandard führen kann.

The development of technological innovations has not only changed social life and the healthcare system, but also affects medical education. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate whether students, when observing a microsurgical procedure of the temporal bone, gain an additional understanding of the anatomical structures and surgical site when visualization is used that provides identical views for the surgeon and viewer in 3D.During regular attendance tutorials, students were randomly assigned to three different groups: control group, 2D group, or 3D group. Evaluation questionnaires and intraoperative student annotation of the surgical view were used to assess the subjective didactic value of different visualization formats and resultant learning experiences for the students.A total of 47 students were included in the investigations during conventional attendance tutorials. The majority indicated a high added value of the 3D visualization in terms of method (70%) and vividness (80%) compared to the 2D group and self-study; 69% of the students fully agreed with the statement that 2D and 3D visualization increases learning motivation and is a very good way to improve recognition of anatomical topography and structures.New interactive visualization options in teaching promote learning efficiency and motivation among students. Especially 3D visualization and intraoperative annotation of the surgical view by the student is a useful didactic tool and increases the quality of clinical teaching. It supports the perception of anatomical topography and enables more focused surgical training.HINTERGRUND: Durch die Entwicklung technologischer Innovationen haben sich nicht nur das gesellschaftliche Leben und das Gesundheitssystem verändert, sondern auch die Anforderungen an die Lehre. Ziel dieser Pilotstudie war es zu evaluieren, ob Studierende bei der Observation eines mikrochirurgischen Eingriffs am Schläfenbein mit Annotation chirurgischer Landmarken ein zusätzliches Verständnis anatomischer Strukturen erlangen, wenn eine Visualisierung verwendet wird, die für Chirurg und Betrachter gleiche 3‑D-Ansichten bietet.Während regulärer Anwesenheitspraktika wurden Studierende drei Gruppen randomisiert zugewiesen: Kontroll‑, 2‑D‑ oder 3‑D-Gruppe. Mithilfe von Evaluationsbögen/intraoperativer Annotation chirurgischer Landmarken des Operationssitus erfolgte die Beurteilung des subjektiv didaktischen Werts verschiedener Visualisierungsformate und daraus resultierender Lernerfahrungen.47 Studierende konnten in die Studie einbezogen werden. Die Mehrheit der Studierenden gab einen sehr hohen Mehrwert der 3‑D-Visualisierung bezüglich der Methode (70 %) und der Anschaulichkeit (80 %) im Vergleich zur 2‑D‑ und Kontrollgruppe an. 69 % der Studierenden stimmten der Aussage voll und ganz zu, dass die 2‑D- und 3‑D-Visualisierung die Lernmotivation erhöht und sehr gut geeignet ist, Topographie/und Strukturen besser zu erkennen.Die Verwendung interaktiver Visualisierungsmöglichkeiten in der Lehre unterstützt die Lerneffizienz und ‑motivation der Studierenden. Besonders die 3‑D-Visualisierung und die intraoperative Annotation des Operationssitus ist ein nützliches Werkzeug in der Lehre und erhöht die Qualität dieser. Sie unterstützt die Wahrnehmung der anatomischen Topographie und ermöglicht eine gezieltere chirurgische Ausbildung.

During the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, higher education worldwide had to switch to digital formats. The purpose of this study was to evaluate CoRad-19, a digital teaching tool created by the German Radiological Society for medical students during the COVID-19 pandemic.A total of 13 German-speaking universities implemented CoRad-19 in their curriculum and partially or completely replaced their classes with the online courses. Previous experience and contact with radiology and the participants' opinions regarding the medium of e-learning were surveyed using a custom questionnaire. The subjective level of knowledge regarding the individual modules was also surveyed before and after participation to measure learning effects. The data of 994 medical students from the participating sites were analyzed and compared intraindividually using the Friedman test.From 4/1/2020-10/1/2020, 451 complete data sets from a total of 994 surveys were included. E-learning was rated "very useful" both before and after course participation (4 [IQR 3-4], p = 0.527, r = 0.16). E-learning as a method was also rated as a "very good" medium both before and after participation (4 [IQR 3-4], p = 0.414, r = 0.17). After participation, participants rated radiology as particularly suitable for digital teaching (before: 3 [IQR 3-4] vs. after 4 [IQR 3-4], p = 0.005, r = 0.6). Significant learning gains were measurable in all course modules (p ≤ 0.009). Post-hoc analysis showed interest in radiology to increase significantly after course participation (p = 0.02).In the representative survey, significant learning effects were observed in all course modules. In addition, it should be particularly emphasized that the students' interest in radiology was increased by course participation. Thus, the German Radiological Society provided significant support to German-speaking medical faculties with respect to maintaining excellent education using CoRad-19.· Co-Rad-19 course participation results in measurable subjective learning effects and increases student interest in radiology..· Brendlin AS, Molwitz I, Oechtering TH et al.

In dieser Studie sollte CoRad-19, ein im Rahmen der COVID-19-Pandemie erstelltes digitales Lehrangebot der Deutschen Röntgengesellschaft (DRG) für Medizinstudierende, evaluiert werden.Insgesamt 13 deutschsprachige Hochschulstandorte haben CoRad-19 in ihr Curriculum implementiert sowie ihre Lehrangebote teilweise oder sogar vollständig durch die Online-Kurse ersetzt. Mithilfe eines eigens entworfenen Fragebogens wurden Vorerfahrungen in und bisherige Kontakte zur Radiologie erfragt sowie die Meinung der Teilnehmenden gegenüber dem Medium E-Learning erhoben. Als Maßstab für den Lernerfolg wurde der subjektive Kenntnisstand bezüglich der einzelnen Module jeweils vor und nach der Teilnahme erhoben. Die Angaben 994 Medizinstudierender aus den beteiligten Standorten wurden analysiert und mittels Friedman-Test intraindividuell verglichen.Vom 01.04.2020–01.10.2020 wurden aus insgesamt 994 Erhebungen 451 vollständige Datensätze inkludiert. E-Learning wurde sowohl vor als auch nach der Teilnahme an den Kursen als „sehr sinnvoll“ eingeschätzt (4 [IQR 3–4], p = 0,527, r = 0,16). Auch E-Learning als Methode wurde sowohl vor als auch nach der Teilnahme als „sehr gutes“ Medium bewertet (4 [IQR 3–4], p = 0,414, r = 0,17). Nach Teilnahme an den Kursen schätzten die Teilnehmenden die Radiologie als besonders geeignet für digitale Lehre ein (vorher: 3 [IQR 3–4] vs. nachher 4 [IQR 3–4], p = 0,005, r = 0,6). In allen Kursmodulen waren signifikante Lernerfolge messbar (p ≤ 0,009). Eine Post-hoc-Analyse zeigte, dass das Interesse an der Radiologie nach Teilnahme an den Kursen signifikant zunahm (p = 0,02).In der repräsentativen Umfrage wurden signifikante Lerneffekte in allen Kursmodulen beobachtet. Zudem ist besonders hervorzuheben, dass das Interesse der Studierenden an der Radiologie durch die Kursteilnahme gesteigert werden konnte. Die DRG konnte den deutschsprachigen medizinischen Fakultäten durch CoRad-19 also wichtige Unterstützung bei der Aufrechterhaltung exzellenter Lehre bieten.· Die Kursteilnahme an CoRad-19 führt zu messbaren subjektiven Lerneffekten und steigert das Interesse Studierender an der Radiologie..· Brendlin AS, Molwitz I, Oechtering TH et al.

- Abstract
Objective: The challenge is to counteract the undersupply of doctors in rural areas in Bavaria. As one possibility, the "Country Doctor Quota" measure provides for the allocation of dedicated medical study places for prospective specialists with general practice activities. A specific selection process for future medical students was established and safely implemented under the safety and hygiene conditions of the corona pandemic., Method: In Bavaria, a two-stage selection process was developed and used in full for the first time in 2021 for the selection of students. Due to the corona pandemic, only the results of stage 1 of the process for the selection of prospective students were taken into account in the previous year. Cognitive and non-cognitive criteria were included in a 2-stage selection process. In the second stage, physician-relevant competencies (e. g. resilience, problem-solving ability, empathy and compassion, communication skills, ethical decision-making, as well as consulting and social skills) were assessed by Bavarian family doctors in four multiple mini interviews and a 10-minute, semi-structured individual interview. A maximum of 100 points could be achieved. A digital, contact-free selection process was established and successfully implemented to ensure protection and hygiene conditions in the context of the interviews., Results: A total of 436 people applied as part of the Bavarian country doctor quota for the 2021/2022 winter semester; 226 applicants were invited to the selection interviews at the second stage, of which 115 applicants received a place at the university. 64% of the participants had already completed medical vocational training, the high school graduation grade average was 2.4., Conclusion: The developed selection process identified applicants as part of the Bavarian country doctor quota and selected using objective criteria. All available medical study places were filled with the 115 finally selected applicants. To what extent the selected applicants (can) counteract the impending shortage of prospective specialists with general practitioner work remains to be seen., Competing Interests: Die Autorinnen/Autoren geben an, dass kein Interessenkonflikt besteht., (Thieme.

Introduction: Climate change is the greatest threat to human health and therefore has a direct impact on the work of physicians. At the same time, the health sector is also an originator of pollutants that burden the climate. The concept of Planetary Health describes, among other things, ways in which the health sector can counter the effects of climate change. Nevertheless, the inclusion of contents on sustainable action in the education of health professionals has not been made mandatory to date. The aim of this study is to answer the question of how an intervention has to be designed so that medical students specifically develop an interest in dealing with the topic on their own., Methods: The intervention consisted ofFor evaluation purposes, a qualitative study with guided focus group interviews of attendees was conducted. The fully transcribed focus group transcripts were analysed using Mayring's structuring qualitative content analysis. Additionally, we checked the semester evaluation for feedback on the intervention., Results: Four focus groups comprising n = 14 medical students (11 female, 3 male) were conducted. Dealing with Planetary Health as a topic during medical education was considered relevant. The partially restrained to negative reaction of the teaching practice staff involved to the checklist had a demotivating effect. A lack of time was given as a further reason for not dealing with the topic independently. Participants suggested integrating specific Planetary Health content in mandatory courses and considered environmental medicine to be especially suited. As a didactic method, case-based working in small groups seemed to be particularly appropriate. In the semester evaluation, we found both approving and critical commentaries., Discussion: Participants considered Planetary Health a relevant topic in the context of medical education. The intervention proved to be of limited use in motivating students to deal with the topic independently. A longitudinal integration of the topic in the medical curriculum seems to be appropriate., Conclusions: From the students' perspective, it is important to teach and acquire knowledge and skills regarding to Planetary Health in the future. Despite a high level of interest, additional offers are not being utilised due to a lack of time and should therefore be made part of the mandatory curriculum, where possible., (Copyright © 2023.

- Abstract
Background: Considering the growing rehabilitative care requirements, good interprofessional cooperation is of central relevance for health care professions and is increasingly demanded. Interprofessional cooperation does not yet play a significant role in health professions' education, despite the fact that it is considered an important element of success in outcome- and patient-centered health care. The field of rehabilitation lacks interprofessional teaching concepts and material., Methods: An interprofessional team of instructors developed the didactic and thematic concept for the module. The module focuses on rehabilitation and discharge management. The learning objectives were developed based on the National Competency-Based Catalogue of Learning Objectives for Medicine. The formative evaluation was based on a questionnaire filled out by the students and the learning guides., Results: 47 participants took part in three runs. The results of the formative evaluation demonstrate that the module was overall well received. The trainees rated the module more favorably than the medical students. While participants emphasized the good practical eye-to-eye interaction between the professions and the honest feedback conversation, they also pointed to the contrast they perceived to their everyday practice. They also wished for more time having verbal interprofessional exchange. The medical students criticized that interprofessional modules were only offered in their final year., Conclusion: To the author's knowledge, this is the first publication of an interprofessional module on rehabilitation and discharge management including piloting and positive evaluation for the three professional groups of medicine, nursing and physical therapy. Improvement suggestions of the participants led to modifications that will be realized in the next version of the module. The course sets important impulses for the further development of interprofessional cooperation and the teaching of rehabilitation-related skills. The modular package is available to other lecturers in a free online platform for rehabilitation-related teaching materials., Competing Interests: Die Autoren geben an, dass kein Interessenkonflikt besteht., (Thieme.

The aim of this study was to identify subjective attitudes of medical students towards alcohol-related disorders (ARD) compared to other mental and somatic disorders. Medical students taking part in an online survey (n = 1875) rated ARD less severe compared to other disorders (p 0.001), had a greater wish for social distance towards those affected (p 0.001), held them more responsible (p 0.001), and chose ARD more often as a disorder with a potential for financial savings in the health care system. Prospective psychiatrists selectively reported an increased desire for social distance and readiness for structural discrimination in terms of ARD but not for mental disorders per se. Since these attitudes might have unfavorable effects on the medical-patient relationship, it is of importance to address this issue already during medicine studies.Ziel war die Erfassung subjektiver Einstellungen von Medizinstudierenden gegenüber alkoholbezogenen Störungen (AS) im direkten Vergleich mit anderen psychischen und somatischen Erkrankungen. Die mithilfe eines Onlinefragebogens befragten Studierenden (n = 1875) bewerteten AS gegenüber anderen Erkrankungen als weniger schwerwiegend (p 0,001), wünschten sich mehr soziale Distanz zu Betroffenen (p 0,001), machten sie stärker für die Erkrankung verantwortlich (p 0,001) und wählten AS am häufigsten als Erkrankung mit Einsparpotenzial in der Versorgung. Auch angehende Psychiater wiesen selektiv bei AS, nicht aber bei psychischen Störungen per se einen starken Wunsch nach sozialer Distanz und eine erhöhte Bereitschaft zur strukturellen Diskriminierung auf. Dies könnte sich im späteren Berufsleben ungünstig auf die Arzt-Patienten-Beziehung auswirken, sodass eine vertiefte Auseinandersetzung mit subjektiven Einstellungen bereits im Studium von hoher Relevanz erscheint.

To make a virtue out of necessity by establishing a digital teaching curriculum in otorhinolaryngology (ORL) during the COVID-19 pandemic, the authors created the concept of a new digital scientific seminar. Digital competence forms the basis for data literacy in medical and scientific education. In this study, the students' evaluation of the seminar focusing on digital and scientific skill acquisition is presented.Included in this prospective monocentric questionnaire study were 265 students. The seminar started with an introduction on the criteria of a good publication, followed by the individual task of understanding the publication on a main ORL topic and writing its abstract. After the seminar, students completed the evaluation questionnaire.Overall, results showed that students rated the seminar well. Free-text comments added that although live teaching was preferred, students found their digital and scientific competence increased through the task of writing a publication abstract on their own.Digital education was not only rated well, but improved the students' subjective scientific competence, satisfied the students' wish for digital transformation, and likewise fulfilled the national goals of competence-based education.HINTERGRUND: Um aus der Not der Umstellung der Lehre in Zeiten der COVID-Pandemie eine Tugend zu machen, entwickelten wir das Konzept eines neuen digitalen Seminars zum wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten. Digitale Kompetenz begründet den kompetenten Umgang mit Daten in medizinischer Lehre und wissenschaftlicher Ausbildung. Diese Studie präsentiert die Ergebnisse der studentischen Lehrevaluation des Seminars mit Fokus auf den Erwerb von digitaler und wissenschaftlicher Kompetenz.In diese prospektive Fragebogen-Studie wurden 265 Studierende eingeschlossen. Das Seminar beinhaltete eine Einführung über die Kriterien guten wissenschaftlichen Arbeitens, gefolgt von einer individuellen Arbeitsphase der Studenten mit Bearbeitung einer wissenschaftlichen Publikation und selbstständigen Erstellung des zugehörigen Abstracts mit abschließender Evaluation.Das Seminar wurde insgesamt gut bewertet. In Freitext-Kommentaren wurde deutlich, dass sich die Studierenden statt digitaler Lehre dennoch Anwesenheitsseminare zum Thema wünschten. Die Studierenden gaben an, dass ihre wissenschaftliche Kompetenz durch das digitale Seminar und das selbständige Verfassen eines Abstracts verbessert wurde.Die digitale Lehre wurde von den Studierenden zwar nicht ausschließlich positiv bewertet, verbesserte jedoch deren subjektive wissenschaftliche Kompetenz und erfüllte deren Wunsch einer digitalen Transformation der Lehre und damit auch die Ziele des neuen Nationalen Kompetenzbasierten Lernzielkatalogs der Medizin.

The training of scientific skills and competencies is an essential part of academic medical studies. As part of the MaReCuM model study program at Heidelberg University's Mannheim Medical School, a fifth-year rotation on scientific skills in the field of pain medicine was implemented. This paper describes this competence-oriented rotation as well as the investigation of the educational effect.A total of 114 fifth-year medical students participated in the survey (response rate: 83%). The control group completed the fifth year prior to the implementation of the rotation. The experimental group was required to participate in the rotation and the real healthcare research study "Case management program: low back pain". A survey of both groups was conducted on the first day of the rotation and at the end of the module.The innovative and competency-based learning unit was successfully implemented as part of the MaReCuM model study program and carried out with partners in general practice as well as the Mannheim Institute of Public Health. The participating students accepted the rotation well. There was no measurable effect on the subjective learning success of the rotation in the evaluation.To the authors' knowledge, this educational approach has never been tested before in a German study program. The presented rotation offers an additional option for the training of scientific competencies as part of medical studies. The missing of a measurable effect could be due to the extensive experience of the medical students as well as the limitations on participation in a real healthcare study. An additional learning opportunity could be created by connecting the preexisting lectures to a longitudinal module on scholarly competencies. The implementation of the program also offers a unique opportunity for educational research on the acquisition of scientific competencies in medical students.ZIELSETZUNG: Die Vermittlung von Wissenschaftskompetenzen ist ein unverzichtbares Charakteristikum eines akademischen Medizinstudiums. Im Rahmen des Modellstudiengangs Mannheimer Reformiertes Curriculum für Medizin (MaReCuM) wurde die Lehrveranstaltung Wissenschaftliches Arbeiten im Fach Schmerzmedizin in das 5. Studienjahr implementiert. Die Ziele der Arbeit umfassen die Beschreibung dieser kompetenzorientierten Lehrveranstaltung sowie eine Evaluation der Lerneffekte der Lehrveranstaltung.114 Studierende haben sich an einer Fragebogenerhebung beteiligt. Die historische Kontrollgruppe absolvierte das 5. Studienjahr vor Einführung der Lehrveranstaltung. Die Interventionsgruppe nahm verpflichtend an der Lehrveranstaltung sowie an der realen Versorgungsforschungsstudie Case-Management-Programm Kreuzschmerzteil. In beiden Gruppen erfolgte eine Fragebogenerhebung zu schmerzmedizinischem Vorwissen und Interesse sowie zur Akzeptanz der Lehrveranstaltung und dem subjektiv wahrgenommenen Lernerfolg.Die innovative und kompetenzorientierte Lehrveranstaltung konnte erfolgreich in das Curriculum des Modellstudiengangs implementiert und mit den Partnern in der Allgemeinmedizin und dem Mannheim Institute of Public Health wie geplant durchgeführt werden. Die Lehrveranstaltung wurde von den teilnehmenden Studierenden akzeptiert. In der begleitenden Evaluation hatte die Teilnahme an der Lehrintervention an und für sich keinen messbaren Einfluss auf den subjektiven Lernerfolg.Unseres Wissens nach wurde dieser didaktische Ansatz in der curricularen Lehre bislang noch nicht verfolgt. Die vorgestellte Lehrveranstaltung eröffnet eine weitere Option zur Vermittlung von Wissenschaftskompetenzen im Rahmen des Medizinstudiums. Ein Effekt der Lehrveranstaltung auf den subjektiven Lernerfolg war in der untersuchten Form und am Ende des Moduls nicht messbar. Gründe dafür könnten in den vielfältigen und umfangreichen Vorerfahrungen der Studierenden des Modellstudiengangs MaReCuM sowie in Limitationen bei der Teilnahme an der realen Versorgungsforschungsstudie liegen. Durch die Verknüpfung der Lehrintervention mit anderen Lehrveranstaltungen zu einem longitudinalen Wissenschaftsmodul kann eine zusätzliche Lerngelegenheit im Bereich der Arztrolle des Gelehrten geschaffen werden. Die Implementierung der Lehrveranstaltung bietet darüber hinaus die Gelegenheit für vergleichende Untersuchungen zum Erwerb von Wissenschaftskompetenzen der Studierenden im Fach Humanmedizin.

The corona pandemic has had a significant impact on the conditions of university student teaching. Due to the pandemic-related contact restrictions, digital teaching formats were widely used instead of the previous face-to-face teaching. In the summer semester of 2020 students received this well and evaluated it positively in recent publications. In this work, the main focus was on the experiences and assessments of teachers in ophthalmology during the winter semester 2020/2021.By means of two anonymous surveys via online questionnaires, the lecturers in ophthalmology of German university hospitals as well as internal and external lecturers and staff members of the student teaching of the Department of Ophthalmology of the University Medical Center Mainz were asked about their experiences with the implementation of digital teaching.In this context 95% of the teaching staff of ophthalmology departments of university hospitals in Germany stated that they had established digital teaching concepts at the latest since the corona pandemic. Hybrid formats with a proportion of face-to-face teaching were used by 68%. A wide variety of teaching formats were used. Difficulties were also encountered, particularly in interaction with students. Despite predominantly digital teaching, examinations continued to be held in face-to-face settings; only 18% of respondents stated that they had conducted online examinations. In the future, 86% of respondents want to integrate digital formats into their teaching concepts and establish them as a supplement to existing face-to-face teaching.The development of student teaching during the corona pandemic can serve as an opportunity for shaping the future education of medical students in ophthalmology.HINTERGRUND: Die Corona-Pandemie hat einen erheblichen Einfluss auf die Bedingungen der universitären studentischen Lehre. Durch die pandemiebedingten Kontaktbeschränkungen kamen vielerorts digitale Lehrformate anstatt der bisherigen Präsenzlehre zum Einsatz. Diese wurde im Sommersemester 2020 durch die Studierenden in bisher vorliegenden Veröffentlichungen teils schon gut angenommen und positiv evaluiert. In dieser Arbeit wurde das Hauptaugenmerk auf die Erfahrungen und Einschätzungen der Lehrenden in der Augenheilkunde während des Wintersemesters 2020/21 gelegt.Anhand zweier anonymisierter Befragungen mittels Online-Fragebögen wurden zum einen die Lehrbeauftragten der Augenheilkunde der deutschen Universitätskliniken sowie zum anderen interne und externe Dozierende und Mitarbeitende in der studentischen Lehre der Augenklinik der Universitätsmedizin Mainz zu ihren Erfahrungen mit der Implementierung der digitalen Lehre befragt.Hierbei gaben 95 % der Lehrbeauftragten der Augenkliniken der Universitätskliniken in Deutschland an, spätestens seit der Corona-Pandemie digitale Lehrkonzepte etabliert zu haben. Bei 68 % kamen Hybridformate mit anteiliger Präsenzlehre zum Einsatz. Es wurden vielfältige Lehrformate angewendet. Hierbei traten auch Schwierigkeiten, insbesondere in der Interaktion mit den Studierenden sowie durch unzureichende technische Ausstattung der Kliniken, auf. Trotz überwiegend digitaler Lehre wurden weiterhin erprobte Prüfungskonzepte in Präsenzform angewendet, nur 18 % der Befragten gaben an, Online-Prüfungen durchgeführt zu haben. Künftig wollen 86 % der Befragten digitale Formate in ihre Lehrkonzepte integrieren und als Ergänzung der bisherigen Präsenzlehre etablieren.Die Entwicklung der studentischen Lehre während der Corona-Pandemie kann als Chance für die Gestaltung der zukünftigen Ausbildung von Medizinstudierenden in der Augenheilkunde dienen.

Die Zielsetzung dieser Arbeit war es, die Mentalisierungsfähigkeit von Medizinstudierenden der Universität Ulm zu analysieren. Des Weiteren beschäftigte sich die vorliegende Arbeit mit der Frage, ob sich während der Ausbildung der Studierenden eine zeitliche Veränderung der Mentalisierungsfähigkeit feststellen lassen kann, ob die Mentalisierungsfähigkeit von Studierenden während der Ausbildung durch spezielle Lehrmethoden gefördert werden kann und ob Geschlecht oder Alter einen Einfluss auf die Mentalisierungsfähigkeit haben. Die Daten, die hierzu verwendet wurden, stammen aus dem Lehrforschungsprojekt „U2“ des Universitätsklinikums Ulm. Die Studierenden des 5. und 6. Fachsemesters des Wintersemesters 2016/2017 und Sommersemester 2017, die eingewilligt hatten, wurden pseudorandomisiert in eine Interventions- (IG) und eine Kontrollgruppe (KG) eingeteilt. Erstere erhielten während den folgenden halben bis eineinhalb Jahren einen modifizierten Unterricht mit intensivierten Lehreinheiten bezüglich differentieller Anamnese und somatoformer Störungen und absolvierten Übungen mit echten und Schauspielpatienten. Die zweite Gruppe erhielt den Standardunterricht. Den Gruppen wurde zwei Mal im Abstand von einem halben bis eineinhalb Jahren (Messzeitpunkt (MZP) 1 und 2) der Selbstbeurteilungsbogen bezüglich Mentalisierung, der Reflective Functioning Questionaire (RFQ), vorgelegt. Dieser enthielt 54 Items mit einer 7-stufige Likert-Skala. Davon untersuchten 26 Fragen zwei Aspekte der Mentalisierungsfähigkeit, zum einen die Gewissheit (RFQ_C) und zum anderen die Ungewissheit (RFQ_U) über mentale Zustände. Die Auswertung erfolgte mittels Varianzanalyse mit Messwiederholung. Die Analyse der Daten ergab insgesamt keinen signifikanten Unterschied zwischen der KG und IG. Jedoch konnten gruppenübergreifend und die Geschlechter differenzierend signifikante Ergebnisse ermittelt werden. Es zeigte sich, dass bei allen Studierenden die Gewissheit über mentale Zustände vom MZP 1 zum MZP 2 signifikant zunahm. Das gleiche Ergebnis zeigte sich auch bei der isolierten Betrachtung der weiblichen Teilnehmer. Darüber hinaus ergaben sich signifikante Unterschiede zwischen den jüngeren (25-Jährige und Jüngere) und älteren (älter als 25-Jährige) Studierende. Die Gewissheit über ihre mentalen Zustände war bei den Jüngeren zu beiden MZP, unabhängig vom zeitlichen Verlauf, signifikant größer als bei den Älteren. Die Ungewissheit nahm hingegen bei ihnen über die Zeit hinweg ab. Bei den älteren Studierenden war zu beiden MZP die Unsicherheit über die mentalen Zustände isoliert signifikant größer und die Unsicherheit nahm im zeitlichen Verlauf signifikant zu. Der fehlende Unterschied zwischen der Kontroll- und Interventionsgruppe passt zu der Annahme, dass es sich bei der Mentalisierungsfähigkeit um eine eher stabile Persönlichkeitseigenschaft handelt, deren Veränderung eine intensive Intervention bedarf. Die detektierten Unterschiede in Bezug auf die Veränderungen der Mentalisierungsfähigkeit in Abhängigkeit von Geschlecht und Alter in der gesunden, studentischen Stichprobe deuten darauf hin, dass Alter und Geschlecht wesentliche Variablen zu sein scheinen, die bei Interventionen zur Verbesserung der Mentalisierungsfähigkeit mit einbezogen werden sollten

The COVID-19 pandemic changed medical education: teaching has been mostly converted to online mode. Our aim is to offer a complete high-quality curriculum despite the fact of worldwide cutbacks in education.The department of otorhinolaryngology introduced case-based learning (CBL). CBL is a learning and teaching approach that prepares students for clinical practice through the use of authentic clinical cases and places them in the role of decision maker. CBL combines theory and practice to prepare students as good as possible without intern shadowing. The students were asked to evaluate CBL as a digital format and as a teaching tool for future clinical work and preparation for the ORL exam.The majority of students (90%) rated the CBL as a successful digital format. Most students also strongly agreed or agreed that CBL is a good preparation for their future clinical work (90%) and the ORL exam (80%). 100% of students CBL confirmed, that they learned something new.Following successful introduction of CBL we will implement a new teaching format. The "ORL virtual outpatient Dept." will include information from virtual, anonymized case studies. We choose diagnosis included in the "ORL virtual outpatient Dept." according to the most common ORL disorders encountered by primary care physicians. The "ORL virtual outpatient Dept." can only bridge the absence of practical training, and, in the future, serve as an additional preparation.Im Rahmen der COVID-19-Pandemie wurde die Lehre vollständig online durchgeführt. Trotz des Wegfalls von Praktika ist es unser Ziel, ein komplettes und hochqualitatives Curriculum in der HNO-Lehre anzubieten.Wir führten in der HNO-Uniklinik Freiburg Case-based Learning (CBL) ein. CBL ist ein Lern- und Lehransatz, der Studierende durch die Verwendung authentischer klinischer Fälle auf die klinische Praxis vorbereitet und in die Rolle der Entscheidungsträger*in versetzt. CBL verbindet Theorie und Praxis und erlaubt es uns trotz fehlender Praktika, die Studierenden so gut wie möglich auszubilden. Unsere Studierenden evaluierten das Angebot der CBL in Hinsicht auf die Vorbereitung auf die HNO-Abschlussklausur, auf die Vorbereitung auf die Tätigkeit als Ärztin/Arzt, als Lehrmittel und als digitales Format.Die Mehrheit der Studierenden (90%) gaben an, dass CBL ein adäquates digitales Lehrformat ist. Die meisten Studierenden stimmten zu oder voll und ganz zu, dass CBL eine gute Vorbereitung für ihre zukünftige klinische Tätigkeit als Ärztin/Arzt ist (90%) und eine gute Vorbereitung auf die HNO-Klausur ist (80%). 100% der Studierenden gaben an, dass sie beim CBL etwas gelernt haben.Die Einführung des CBL war erfolgreich und wird als dauerhaftes Lehrmittel in der HNO-Lehre übernommen. CBL soll zu einer virtuellen HNO-Ambulanz weiterentwickelt werden. Die „virtuelle HNO-Ambulanz" soll Lerninhalte durch die Bearbeitung von anonymisierten Patient*innen-Fällen (CBL) vermitteln und das Wegfallen der praktischen Ausbildung im Rahmen der COVID-19-Pandemie überbrücken. Im Anschluss soll die „virtuelle HNO-Ambulanz“ als zusätzliches Lehrangebot etabliert werden.

Computed tomography (CT) anatomy is not an integral part of undergraduate medical training in many countries. Radiology seems to be well suited for new online-based teaching methods.The aim of this study was to evaluate whether e‑learning is appropriate for introducing complex learning contents such as sinus CT anatomy to novices and to assess whether identification of relevant anatomical variants in sinus CT scans by medical students can be improved with a sinus CT checklist.Medical students were asked to assess sinus CT scans for anatomical variants before and after implementation of the CLOSE mnemonic (cribriform plate, lamina papyracea, Onodi cell, sphenoid sinus pneumatization, and [anterior] ethmoidal artery). Sinus CT anatomy and the CLOSE mnemonic were introduced by e‑learning. The rate of correctly identified variants and the results of the individual CLOSE items were recorded. A questionnaire was distributed for subjective evaluation of the usefulness of the checklist and e‑learning.Ten students took part in this pilot study. The rate of correctly identified variants improved significantly, from 33.3 to 61.1%. The analysis of the individual CLOSE items showed a significant improvement for C, S, and E. The subjective evaluation of the CLOSE mnemonic and e‑learning was very positive.E‑learning was able to transfer complex learning contents in previously non-trained medical students and was evaluated as an appropriate introduction to the topics. Structured assessment of paranasal sinus CT scans using the CLOSE criteria can significantly improve the recognition of anatomical variants.HINTERGRUND: Die radiologische Anatomie ist in vielen Ländern kein integraler Bestandteil des Medizinstudiums. Die Radiologie scheint für neue online-basierte Lehrmethoden besonders geeignet.Das Ziel dieser Studie ist es, die Eignung des E‑Learnings zur Einführung komplexer Lerninhalte, wie der CT-Anatomie (radiologische Anatomie in der Computertomographie), zu prüfen und zu prüfen, ob die Identifikation wichtiger anatomischer Normvarianten durch Medizinstudent(inn)en durch eine Computertomographie-Checkliste verbessert werden kann.Medizinstudierende wurden gebeten, Computertomographien (CT) der Nasennebenhöhlen auf anatomische Normvarianten vor und nach der Einführung der CLOSE-Kriterien (cribriform plate = Lamina cribrosa, Lamina papyracea, Onodi-Zelle = Sphenoethmoidale Zelle, sphenoid sinus = Keilbeinhöhle, ethmoidal artery = Arteria ethmoidalis anterior) zu untersuchen. Sowohl die CT-Anatomie als auch die CLOSE-Kriterien wurden mittels E‑Learning vermittelt. Die Rate der korrekt identifizierten Normvarianten und die Ergebnisse für die einzelnen CLOSE-Items wurden ermittelt. Die subjektive Evaluation des Nutzens der Checkliste und des E‑Learnings erfolgte mithilfe eines Fragebogens.Zehn Studierende nahmen an dieser Pilotstudie teil. Die Rate der korrekt identifizierten anatomischen Normvarianten verbesserte sich nach der Einführung der CLOSE-Kriterien signifikant von 33,3 auf 61,1 %. Die Analyse der einzelnen CLOSE-Items zeigte eine signifikante Verbesserung für C, S und E. Die subjektive Evaluation des E‑Learnings und der CT-Checkliste waren sehr positiv.Komplexe Lerninhalte können Medizinstudierenden mittels E‑Learning vermittelt werden, auch wenn bisher kein Vorwissen in diesem Bereich besteht. Das E‑Learning wird als angemessene Methode zur Einführung der Thematik beurteilt. Ein strukturiertes Vorgehen mithilfe der CLOSE-Kriterien kann die Erkennung anatomischer Normvarianten signifikant verbessern.

Objective: Space for personality development as well as for the development of critical, creative and interdisciplinary thinking is rarely found in medical curricula in Germany. To be prepared for the challenges of modern medicine, future physicians need a visionary mindset. The aim of this study is to determine the need for teaching such content among medical students in the context of visionary elective curricula and to examine these with regard to the desired topics and organizational structure. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with 236 medical students from all semesters of the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich. The survey consists of 50 questions and includes single choice, multiple choice, matrix questions, open-ended questions and Likert scales. Responses were examined using descriptive statistics and compared parametrically in sub-aspects. Results: Three-quarters of respondents would like to see curricular content on interdisciplinary interfaces with other disciplines. A suitable framework for this is seen by 87% of the respondents in a visionary elective curriculum. Students would like to see a broad range of specific content such as global health, politics, business, and computer science. The majority of respondents would like to see 1 unit of instruction per week and would participate in an appropriate program. Such an offering would promote creative (53.6%), critical (63.7%), and interdisciplinary thinking (69.0%) and train to become better physicians (87%). Conclusion: Participants in this study are positive toward the introduction of visionary content in medical school. Faculties should build visionary elective curricula according to the graduate profile requirements of the new NKLM 2.0 to make medical education sustainable., Zielsetzung: Platz f��r Pers��nlichkeitsbildung sowie f��r die Entwicklung kritischen, kreativen und interdisziplin��ren Denkens findet sich nur selten in medizinischen Curricula in Deutschland. Um auf die Herausforderungen der modernen Medizin vorbereitet zu sein, brauchen angehende ��rztinnen/��rzte eine vision��re Geisteshaltung. Ziel der Studie ist es, den Bedarf f��r die Vermittlung solcher Inhalte unter Medizinstudierenden im Rahmen von vision��ren Wahlcurricula zu ermitteln und diese hinsichtlich der gew��nschten inhaltlichen und organisatorischen Struktur zu untersuchen. Methodik: Es handelt sich um eine Querschnittstudie mit 236 Medizinstudierenden aus allen Semestern der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universit��t M��nchen. Die Umfrage besteht aus 50 Fragen und beinhaltet Single-Choice, Multiple Choice, Matrixfragen, offene Fragen und Likert-Skalen. Die Antworten wurden mittels deskriptiver Statistik untersucht und in Teilaspekten parametrisch verglichen. Ergebnisse: Dreiviertel der Befragten w��nschen sich curriculare Inhalte zu interdisziplin��ren Schnittstellen mit anderen Fachrichtungen. Ein geeigneter Rahmen daf��r wird von 87% der Befragten in einem vision��ren Wahlcurriculum gesehen. Die Studierenden w��nschen sich ein breites Angebot spezifischer Inhalte wie Global Health, Politik, Wirtschaft und Informatik. Die Mehrheit der Befragten w��nscht sich einen Zeitumfang von 1 Unterrichtseinheit pro Woche und w��rde an einem entsprechenden Programm teilnehmen. Ein solches Angebot w��rde das kreative (53,6%), kritische (63,7%) und interdisziplin��re Denken (69,0%) f��rdern und zu besseren ��rztinnen/��rzten ausbilden (87%). Schlussfolgerung: Die Teilnehmenden dieser Studie sind gegen��ber der Einf��hrung vision��rer Inhalte im Medizinstudium positiv eingestellt. Fakult��ten sollten entsprechend der Anforderungen des Absolventenprofils des neuen NKLM 2.0 vision��re Wahlcurricula aufbauen, um die Ausbildung von ��rztinnen und ��rzten zukunftsf��hig zu machen.

Objectives: To explore medical students’ attitudes towards communication skills and the evolution of these attitudes from their first to fourth academic years. Methods: A cohort of 91 medical students completed the Communication Skills Attitudes Scale (CSAS) at the beginning of their medical studies and at the end of their fourth year after having engaged in a training program in communication skills with experiential characteristics (individual encounters with simulated patients, observations in small groups, feedback, and practice). We analyzed students’ positive and negative global attitudes and their affective, cognitive, and respect dimensions towards learning communication skills. Results: Medical students’ attitudes toward communication skills declined from their first (52.8) to fourth year (49.6) (p=.011). Along with this significant decrease in positive attitudes, a significant increase in negative attitudes toward communication skills was also observed in trained students (32.2 vs. 34.2; p=.023). The decline in students’ attitudes mainly involves a decline in their affective (51.4 vs. 47.3, p=.001) but not cognitive (18.3) attitudes. Female students have more positive attitudes towards communication skills than male students. Conclusions: The decline in students’ attitudes, mainly in the affective dimension, could be related to their accumulated learning experiences during the learning process and particularly their experiential training in communication skills. Nevertheless, the importance students give to communication skills in the cognitive dimension remains unchanged. Students’ gender also seems to influence their attitudes. Further research is needed to assess the role of other factors involved in this decrease in positive and affective attitudes., Ziele: Erforschung der Einstellung von Medizinstudent*innen gegenüber Kommunikationsfähigkeiten und die Entwicklung dieser Einstellung zwischen dem ersten und vierten akademischen Jahr. Methoden: Eine Kohorte von 91 Medizinstudent*innen beteiligte sich zu Beginn des Medizinstudiums und zum Ende des vierten Jahres am Communication Skills Attitudes Scale (CSAS)-Test; Letzteres nachdem sie an einem Trainingsprogramm zu erfahrungsbasierten Kommunikationsfähigkeiten teilgenommen hatten (individuelle Begegnungen mit simulierten Patienten, Beobachtungen in Kleingruppen, Feedback und Praxis). Wir analysierten die globalen positiven und negativen Einstellungen der Studierenden sowie deren affektive, kognitive und respekt-bezogene Dimensionen gegenüber dem Erlernen von Kommunikationsfähigkeiten. Ergebnisse: Die Einstellung von Medizinstudent*innen gegenüber Kommunikations-fähigkeiten sank von ihrem ersten (52,8) zum vierten Jahr (49,6) (p=.011). Zusammen mit dieser signifikanten Abnahme einer positiven Einstellung, beobachteten wir einen signifikanten Anstieg einer negativen Einstellung gegenüber Kommunikationsfähigkeiten bei den ausgebildeten Studierenden (32,2 gegenüber 34,2; p=.023). Das Absinken der Einstellung der Studierenden umfasst hauptsächlich eine Abnahme ihrer affektiven (51,4 gegenüber 47,3, p=.001), jedoch nicht ihrer kognitiven (18,3) Einstellung. Weibliche Studierende haben eine positivere Einstellung gegenüber Kommunikationsfähigkeiten als männliche Studierende. Schlussfolgerungen: Das Absinken der Einstellung der Studierenden, hauptsächlich deren affektiver Aspekt, könnte zusammenhängen mit ihren akkumulierten Lernerfahrungen während des Lernprozesses und insbesondere mit ihrem erfahrungsbasierten Training der Kommunikationsfähigkeiten. Trotzdem bleibt die Bedeutung, die Studierende Kommunikationsfähigkeiten in deren kognitiver Dimension beimessen, unverändert hoch. Das Geschlecht der Studierenden scheint ebenfalls einen Einfluss auf ihre Einstellung zu haben. Weitere Forschungen sind nötig, um die Rolle anderer Faktoren zu untersuchen, die an dieser Abnahme positiver und affektiver Einstellungen beteiligt sind.

Aim: Using a comparison of digital teaching in medicine before and after the COVID-19 outbreak, the aim of the study was to examine how ad hoc digitization has changed (1) the design of digital teaching, (2) the attitudes toward and the capabilities of digital teaching and learning and (3) the future importance of individual digital teaching elements. Methods: Students and lecturers from the Medical Faculty of Ulm were asked to voluntarily participate in online surveys during the summer semesters of 2019 and 2020. The data was subsequently analyzed from a longitudinal and cross-sectional view descriptively as well as by using t-tests and Chi2-tests. In addition, using regression analyses, the results were controlled for associations with age, study progress, and media affinity. Results: In the summer semester 2019, 163 students (6.1% response rate) and 56 lecturers (11.5%) participated in the surveys. In the following year, the participation increased to 285 students (10.4%) and 64 lecturers (12.8%). Video-based teaching elements such as videoconferencing and lecture recordings were increasingly used after the COVID-19 outbreak and considered more significant for future teaching. In contrast, virtual reality, augmented reality and 360°-videos, grouped under the term extended reality (XR), are descriptively becoming less important. Most lecturers would like to teach more digitally even after the pandemic but fear a decrease in learning effectiveness and contact with students, who tend to prefer asynchronous learning opportunities. Conclusion: Video-based teaching elements proved to be a low-threshold and time-efficient solution during the lockdown and were also recommended for future use. The XR technology has been put on the back burner for the time being, but in view of the increased digital teaching motivation and capabilities, it can be assumed that lecturers will recognize and use the potential of XR as soon as they have the freedom to design innovative teaching again., Zielsetzung: Mit einem Vergleich zwischen der digitalen Lehre in der Medizin vor und nach dem Ausbruch von Covid-19 soll untersucht werden, wie die ad-hoc Digitalisierung (1) die Gestaltung der digitalen Lehre, (2) die Einstellung und Befähigung zum digitalen Lehren und Lernen, und (3) die zukünftige Bedeutung einzelner digitaler Lehrelemente verändert hat. Methodik: Die Studierenden und Dozierenden der Medizinischen Fakultät Ulm wurden in den Sommersemestern 2019 und 2020 gebeten, freiwillig an Online Umfragen teilzunehmen. Die Daten wurden anschließend im Längs- und Querschnitt deskriptiv sowie anhand von t- und Chi2-Tests analysiert. Zusätzlich wurden die Ergebnisse mit Regressionsanalysen auf Zusammenhänge mit dem Alter, dem Studienfortschritt und der Medienaffinität kontrolliert. Ergebnisse: Im Sommersemester 2019 nahmen 163 Studierende (6.1% Rücklaufquote) und 56 Dozierende (11.5%) an den Umfragen teil. Im Jahr darauf stieg die Teilnahme auf 285 Studierende (10.4%) und 64 Dozierende (12.8%). Videobasierte Lehrelemente wie Videokonferenzen und Vorlesungsaufzeichnungen wurden nach dem Ausbruch von COVID-19 verstärkt eingesetzt und für die zukünftige Lehre bedeutsamer erachtet. Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality und 360°-Videos, die im Begriff Extended Reality (XR) zusammengefasst werden, verlieren dagegen deskriptiv an Bedeutung. Die meisten Dozierenden möchten auch nach der Pandemie digitaler unterrichten, fürchten jedoch Einbußen in der Lernwirksamkeit und im Kontakt zu den Studierenden, die eher asynchrone Lernangebote präferieren. Schlussfolgerung: Videobasierte Lehrelemente haben sich während des Lockdowns als niederschwellige und zeiteffiziente Lösung bewährt und sich auch für einen zukünftigen Einsatz empfohlen. Die XR-Technologie ist augenblicklich in den Hintergrund gerückt, mit Blick auf die gestiegene Motivation und Befähigung für das digitale Lehren ist jedoch anzunehmen, dass die Dozierenden das Potenzial von XR erkennen und nutzen werden, sobald sie wieder Freiräume für die innovative Gestaltung der Lehre haben.

- Abstract
Objective: In addition to teaching theoretical and clinical-practical skills, the development of individual moral competence should be another core concern in medical school. However, research suggests that moral competence in students of human medicine stagnates or even declines during the course of medical school. Therefore, the present cross-sectional study investigated the moral competence of medical students at the beginning of their studies and during their practical year, as well as the effects of testosterone as a neurohormone on moral judgment., Methods: By means of a cross-sectional study, the moral judgment ability of 24 first-year and 16 practical year students of Hannover Medical School was recorded and evaluated with the Moral Competence Test (MCT) according to Lind. The testosterone serum level of the study participants was statistically related to the MCT results., Results: No significant differences between first-year (mean±standard deviation (SD): 13.16±8.21) and practical year students (mean±SD: 11.24±8.07) with regard to moral competence as per the MCT were identified (p=0.36). Higher serum testosterone levels did not show a statistically significant correlation with moral competence (r=-0.09, p=0.58)., Conclusion: Our results do not show a clear trend whether moral competence is lower in medical students in advanced semesters compared to the beginning of medical school and whether moral competence is influenced by the neurohormone testosterone. Nevertheless, it seems reasonable to implement moral competence training for medical students early, continuously, and as individually designed as possible during medical school (and to evaluate it in further studies) in order to preventively counteract stagnation or regression of moral judgment., Competing Interests: Die Autorinnen und Autoren der Studie geben an, dass kein Interessenkonflikt besteht., (Thieme.

- Abstract
Objective: According to the legislator's ideas, the selection of medical students in Germany should no longer be based on the Abitur grade alone. This approach has already been implemented in the two-stage selection process at Witten/Herdecke University (UW/H) using several criteria. On the one hand, the present study aims to determine the prognostic value of the procedural components for the overall performance on the selection day. On the other hand, the different strategies of the applicants in processing the written task (phase 1) will be examined with regard to their application success., Methodology: Data on applications for the summer semester 2020 (N = 819 phase 1; N = 233 phase 2) were available retrospectively. A stepwise regression analysis was conducted to determine the predictive power of each procedural component. Using a summary content analysis, the four essays from the applicants' motivation letters were structured and categories were identified, and an extreme group comparison (Group 1: Not invited; Group 2: University acceptance; N = 60 essays) was conducted., Results: As the stepwise regression analysis shows, the individual biographical interview emerged as the strongest predictor in terms of overall performance, followed by lecture, group interview, and multiple mini interviews. Content analysis extracted content and scaling categories for the individual essays, as well as an additional meta-category (Impression Management, IM). Successful applicants demonstrated, among other things, better judgment skills, more sophisticated reasoning skills, and an internalized role model as a physician. In addition, they used defensive IM strategies, e.g., subjectification and self-deprecation, more frequently., Conclusion: Biographical interview is considered the strongest predictor of overall performance. The dimensions of impression management, reasoning quality and judgment proved to be reliable predictors of successful performance in the selection process. In addition, role image as a physician and professional commitment had a favorable effect on the selection decision., (Copyright © 2023. Published by Elsevier GmbH.)

- Abstract
Objective: Academic careers still play a significant role in medicine. Although the doctorate remains interesting for many students, there are no data available from medical students, for example, with regard to the interest in habilitation. In parallel, a good work-life/family balance is a key career element for young medical professionals. The aim was to obtain an up-to-date opinion on the academic career of medical students., Methodology: Using an online survey, medical students of all semesters in Germany were questioned on the topics of academic career, mentoring, and work-life balance from October 2017 to December 2018. For this purpose, the medical students were invited by e-mail to participate and answer an anonymized online questionnaire., Results: A total of 1,775 participants from all 38 German medical faculties (68.3% female; age 23.3 ± 4.0 years) were included. Almost half of the participants could envision working in a branch office after graduation. While a professional career appeared important to a clear majority (70.8%), leisure time was rated as even more important (84.3%), and work-life balance clearly prioritized personal life (41.2%) over career (9.6%). Acquiring a title was rated as important to one's career by 53.6%. However, while the acquisition of a doctorate was still an option for 88.0% of the respondents, the situation is significantly different for academic titles following a successful habilitation. Although the significance of a habilitation is rated as high to very high (66.1%), the titles of assistant professor ("yes": 13.0%), associate professor (6.0%) or university professor (7.0%) are much less likely to be considered by medical students and are therefore rated as "maybe" and "no". Nevertheless, almost 60% wished for better information and advice in their future field of work., Conclusion: Careers in medicine are undergoing a transformation where better compatibility of leisure/family and work is no longer the sole focus. On the contrary, work-life blending is sought, as a connection between work and life.
