Description
Summary:Based on the major revision of the regulation for the licence to practice medicine (ÄAppO) we adapted teaching in medical biometry. The so-called “teaching project Biometry” is intended to give basics of biometry to the students by using computer methods. For this purpose an E-Learning system is established and a statistical software is introduced. Methods of statistics are inducted using a real medical patient data set. First of all the new project is intended to increase the students’ motivation for the subsidiary subject of medical biometry, secondly to improve the sustainability for future medical research and for dissertation writing. This field report mainly describes the selection process and the applicability of an E-Learning system for medical biometry. Additionally first experiences and the evaluation of a first course conducted last year (summer term 2005) will be presented.
