Heading in the same direction: the skills-lab workshops Marburg-Goettingen - A field report

History:
After the initiation of skills-labs in Marburg and Goettingen the peer-teaching students of both institutions saw a need for communication and cooperation. The primary goal of these 'skills-lab workshops' was the exchange of already existing ideas for extracurricular peer-teaching, the development of new tutorials and long-term cooperation between the institutions.
Methods:
In January of 2010 the 1(st) 'skills-lab workshop' Marburg-Goettingen was held at the 'Marburg's Interdisciplinary skills-lab' (Maris, since 10/2008). The 2(nd) workshop was held at the 'Student's trainings center of medical practice and simulation' (STÄPS, since 10/2009) in Goettingen in October of 2010.
Results And Conclusion:
Especially younger skills-labs can profit from an exchange with a more established Institution. Cooperations like these are the foundation for future exchange of ideas for new peer-teachings and the continuous improvement or a transfer of existing peer-teachings for skills-labs. We recommend bilateral exchanges like this to other and especially to new skills-labs.
