Homepage /Chemistry for medical degree programmes
Who we are - What we do

The aim of the Chemistry for Medical Study Programmes working group, founded in September 2010, is the further development and modernisation of chemical and scientific training in medical study programmes (human medicine and dentistry, but also veterinary medicine, molecular medicine, etc.). In human medicine, this training takes place as part of the subject "Chemistry for Physicians".

The working group represents the interests of these subjects and their representatives externally. This includes, in particular, involvement in the creation of training standards and representation in inter-university and non-university committees. The aim is to sustainably anchor chemistry as a basic scientific subject in a modern medical degree programme that does justice to the opportunities and challenges of rapidly growing molecular knowledge.

In addition, the working group provides a platform for the exchange of experience at every level.

Inquiries, requests and suggestions are always welcome!
