The integrated medical degree program iMED is characterised by the guiding principle of "scientific orientation". Our graduates

have a critical and questioning attitude
demonstrate awareness of problems and methods
are able to work independently and in a structured way
are oriented towards evidence-based science.
At the same time, it is very important to us that in the course of their studies, students acquire the necessary practical skills and abilities as well as psycho-social and communication skills for the medical profession.

How are these goals realised in the iMED concept?

Theoretical and practical-clinical training contents are closely interlinked throughout the entire course of study. The students are trained from three perspectives:

Practical skills in diagnosis and therapy
Theoretical basics
Social interaction with patients and colleagues
The integrated study structure consists of a compulsory core curriculum and a compulsory elective curriculum ("2nd Tracks"). The subjects in the elective area are oriented towards the research profile of the faculty:

neuroscience research
cardiovascular research
tumour research
health care research and
inflammation and infection research
By rearranging courses, space has been created for more self-determined learning as well as for in-depth content determined by the interests of students and teachers. The structure of the degree program enables mobility within the framework of the nursing training, clinical training, elective modules and the final practical year. Advisory services and measures for the qualification of the teaching staff, in addition to other quality assurance measures, form an important basis of medical studies at our faculty.
