Abstract: To assess the current state of medical psychological teaching in
Germany after implementation of the new legislation on licensure requirements
for physicians (ÄappO), a survey of all departments/institutions was
accomplished in 2005 by the teaching committee of the German Society of Medical
Psychology (DGMP). For the analysis of the current teaching situation,
questions about personnel requirements, subjects and aims of teaching, teaching
courses and their contents, the wish for interchange and training, teaching
material as well as strengths and weaknesses of teaching were posed. A total of
n=26 of n=33 contacted medical psychology institutions participated. On an
average, five members of staff take part in teaching. The results indicate that
a wish for exchange and didactic training exists. Collected information will be
used for developing an internet-assisted possibility to exchange teaching
concepts, -topics and -material.
