an evidence-based approach, based on adherence to recommended guidelines, in the prevention of falling and malnutrition. Further, the implementation of clinical practice guidelines is needed, which requires educational training for care staff and supportive leadership.Objective A competency-based training of medical students that is adapted to the realities of care is required internationally and is being intended in Germany with the Master Plan for Medical Studies 2020. In order to test these competencies, the German National Institute for state examinations in Medicine, Pharmacy and Psychotherapy (IMPP) has developed a concept for the redesign of the final part of the medical licensing examination in Germany. It focuses on general and interprofessional healthcare in the examination with outpatients. The aim of this work is to assess the feasibility of the new final examination on the basis of pilot examinations in family practices and to derive further steps for the national implementation. Methods Fourteen medical students in their internship year completed a full examination with patients aged 42 to 84 years. Examiners evaluated the examination performance using standardised evaluation forms. Feasibility was qualitatively assessed in terms of compliance with content annation must be established.Background Adverse events in patient care are often caused by failures in teamwork. Simulation training and its debriefing can contribute to improving teamwork and thus patient care. When conducting debriefings, there are several design factors that can potentially influence learning outcomes. This study examines the use of a cognitive aid to help structure the content of debriefings and compares it with debriefings that are merely roughly structured. see more In addition, the feasibility of the debriefing, the satisfaction of the participants and their teamwork during the training are investigated. Methods In a simulated night shift, seven teams of four to five medical students (n=32) took part in six cases that simulated common situations in an emergency medicine environment and received a debriefing on their teamwork after each case, either in the intervention condition with the help of the TeamTAG tool - a cognitive aid focusing on selected teamwork principles from Crisis Resource Management (CRM) - or in the cont Conclusion The use of a cognitive aid can help to direct the focus on certain topics or learning objectives and facilitate time management through pre-structuring; however, a difference in learning outcomes (in terms of the quality of teamwork) could not be identified. Besides the influence of a certain structure or script, a strong influence from the individual guiding the debriefing is likely.Background Physicians are frequently not aware that patients may not be familiar with the meaning of medical terms or have limited knowledge about the location of organs. These aspects of functional health competence require particular attention when designing communication curricula for undergraduate medical students. The aim of our study was to evaluate the knowledge of laypersons about the anatomical locations of organs and the definitions of commonly used medical terms as relevant aspects of health literacy. Furthermore, we wished to compare it with the knowledge of a historical patient cohort who performed this study 50 years ago. Methods In this replication study, multiple-choice questionnaires with simple anatomy and common medical terms which were published in 1970 were distributed among a convenience sample of lay volunteers (n=537) from the streets of Hamburg, Germany. Sociodemographic data including sex, age, highest educational school achievement, occupation in a field associated with medicine, anve increased during the past 50 years but could still need improvement by school education and media information of better quality. Medical educators should know about the low health literacy of laypersons with respect to these aspects to raise medical students' awareness for this problem and to provide communication training for medical students to use comprehensible language during history taking and shared decision making.Background Clinicians in their role as teachers and medical faculties were struggling to address the medical students' needs regarding their medical education in times of COVID-19. They were especially confronted with several challenges regarding what medical training should look like and how to transfer medical training to integrate relevant skills like interpersonal or practical competencies. This study aimed to investigate the teachers' perspectives on medical education and COVID-19 in general, including their distress level. Methods This quantitative questionnaire study was distributed online among responsible lecturers of medical training at the Medical Faculty of Tuebingen. Teachers answered questions about the medical training, COVID-19 in general (on a seven point- Likert scale from "not at all" to "completely") and their mental well-being (STAI). Descriptive data analysis and t-tests were performed. Results The teachers reported being significantly (p less then .01) more distressed regarding the mediigital formats like telehealth, including patient-physician distance interactions.Introduction The successful treatment of a multitude of chronic diseases is largely dependent on effective interprofessional collaboration. In Germany, many healthcare employees feel unprepared for the challenges of interprofessional teamwork. Can a seminar designed by an interprofessional team for an interprofessional target group improve mutual understanding and provide the basis for successful interprofessional collaboration? Methodological approach For the development of the seminar, Kern's model for curriculum development was used, which includes the following six steps problem identification, needs analysis, goal definition (learning objectives and learning content), educational strategies, implementation and evaluation. The all-day event brought together physiotherapists, pharmacists, medical assistants and doctors undergoing specialist training in family medicine. Representatives of the various professions were recruited through multiple channels (associations, pharmacist societies, alumni-networks, etc.
