  • Title: [Social medicine in medical education exemplified by the Witten/Herdecke University].
    Author: Kunstmann W, Stiegler I.
    Journal: Gesundheitswesen; 1993 Nov; 55 Suppl 2():83-7. PubMed ID: 8298222.
    Abstract:
    In 1992 a problem-based curriculum was introduced into the Medical Faculty of the University of Witten/Herdecke (UWH). First experiences with this approach indicate that--for several reasons discussed--community related health issues have not been sufficiently addressed. Therefore, it is recommended to give students access to field experiences in community health. At the UWH this is accomplished by a community-related practicum which connects students with a variety of community health services. A parallel course discusses students' experiences in a problem based manner and population related studies are developed.
