Teaching at the Institute of Public Health
The Institute plays a key role in the implementation of public health and population medicine content in the training objectives and examination content of the currently planned new licensing regulations in human medicine in Germany. According to the new licensing regulations and the national catalog of learning objectives in human medicine, the topic of public health is to become an integral part of student teaching in the future. The courses offered at the Institute will provide a unique opportunity for students to get to know the diverse tasks of the public health department during their studies. At the same time, this expansion of content will enhance the value of professions in the public health sector.
The Institute is currently involved in teaching on the degree courses in midwifery science, nursing science, health economics and health services research.
