Background:
In literature and scientific societies no binding methodical-didactic recommendations or guidelines exist in order to design surgical training courses. The educating institutions plan, organise and evaluate the educational program on their own initiative.
Material And Methods:
Through a research project surgical training courses were investigated through structured surveys, expert discussions with course responsibles and trainers and analysis of participant's questionnaires. The investigation was performed by an pedagogical-psychological research institution. First implementations were installed and immediately included in the running process of evaluation.
Results:
From the evaluation, specific alterations in the organisational and micro didactic process were implemented. In addition, changes in a long term process had to be implemented such as: (a) conception of the trainer role, (b) giving feedback and judge performance and (c) provide contents in a sophisticated manner.
Conclusion:
For advanced medical training providers a long term cooperation with a pedagogical institution seems to be highly advisable.
