We developed an e-learning tool in augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) for medical students in Germany and tested it at Rhenish-Westphalian Technical University, Aachen. Our cross-sectional evaluation study is an innovative approach since the topic is yet to be implemented in medical education. Other AAC tools do not target medical students. Our study underlines the importance of AAC for medical doctors. Universities should include AAC in their lectures to prepare medical students for their clinical practice. The "AACHEN" tool is a first step.
