Alongside theoretical knowledge, practical skills such as ankle-brachial index (ABI) measurement or the fundamentals of duplex sonography are taught. Additional courses are held in cooperation with other internal medicine disciplines (SSM 58 – Praktische Fallpräsentationen aus der Inneren Medizin, Vom Symptom zur Diagnose– Vorbereitung auf den Paul Ehrlich Contest (Practical Case Presentations from Internal Medicine, From Symptom to Diagnosis – Preparation for the Paul Ehrlich Contest), OSCE I und II (OSCE I and II), Betreuung von KPJ Studierenden und Famulant*innen (Supervision of CPJ Students and Interns); Electives: Auscultation and Percussion).
In addition, a large number of diploma theses and dissertations are supervised as part of the Medical Research extension program.
The instructors also complete training in university didactics and ongoing professional development by attending appropriate courses (including eDidactics).
