Center for Development and Assessment of Medical Competences

Mission Statement

“Teaching is touching the future”

— Sigrid Harendza, MD

Research

Our projects include teaching and assessment of competences in undergraduate and postgraduate medical education with a focus on simulation-based assessment and telemedicine. Based on scientific evidence gathered by our research projects we suggest didactic improvement or redesign of courses, e.g. for communicative and social skills. Our goal is to evaluate how medical education can be realized in the most sustainable way and adapted to the needs of society. This undergoes a constant process of quality control, where educational research makes an important contribution to teaching and assessment in medicine and eventually to patient safety.
