In addition to the study programs and experienced lecturers, a subject-specific accreditation agency, the AHPGS, is also a member of the department. Contemporary teaching motivates students and at the same time creates the basis for promoting health literacy in society. Diversity, social inequality in the population as well as digitalization and interprofessionalism in healthcare are the focus of our work.

Goals

• Development and evaluation of teaching
• Networking of the teaching staff
• Acquisition and development of competencies (e.g. communicative competence)

What do we do to achieve the goals...?

• Exchange between science, policy and practice (including positions/opinions, initiatives).
• Exchange about (current, innovative) methods and topics in teaching, because: "We don't learn from experience. We learn from reflecting on experience." (John Dewey)
• Promotion of networks within research and teaching, because "Academic freedom is the freedom to learn as much as one wants." (Rudolf Virchow)

Concrete activities

• interprofessional cooperation and networking;
