[Medical education in the dilemma between theory and praxis. The reforms in medical studies make an impact]

(Die ärztliche Ausbildung im Spannungsfeld von Theorie und Praxis. Die Reform des Medizinstudiums zeigt Wirkung.)

Full Abstract

The 2002 German medical licensing regulations for physicians represent an interim end point of a development that demands stronger orientation of medical education towards practical skills training. Meanwhile the responsible institutions have implemented the regulations. The article portrays the history of this reform of medical studies and critically discusses the value of an early practical orientation during the course of medical education. The article stresses the value of medical knowledge, which must receive priority in order to sustain the high quality of medical practice.
