The department is well networked with other specialty areas, e.g., in the required modules Erkrankungen des Nervensystems/Diseases of the Nervous System or Grundlagen der Chirurgie/Fundamentals of Surgery. In addition, courses are held in the Dentistry degree program and for doctoral candidates in the doctoral schools. Our instructors pass on their knowledge to students of other institutions and offer practice-oriented supervision of students on clinical rotations. There is outstanding cooperation with the local Clinical Skill Center concerning the OSCE. Furthermore, postgraduate courses are directed at a variety of occupational groups in the fields of medicine, science and research, nursing and health services. Some of the professional development courses can be completed while the participant is regularly employed and provide him/her with a valuable additional qualification.
