Abstract:
Considering the discussions on the reform in medical education and the Free University of Berlin's plans for a reformed curriculum for medical studies, a new model in teaching and learning for the course "social medicine" was developed and tested. The model deals with students' interests in topics of social medicine and allows inductive access to matters of social medicine by means of exemplary learning. Teacher's task is to be moderator and organizer of learning processes. Experiences show that this procedure leads to improved interest in and more engagement towards the subject "social medicine" within the reach of the course.
