Interdisciplinary Cooperation and Education at Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin

Abstract

This report includes the written experience and reflection of a physician and two stu-dents from different faculties of the University of Ljubljana. Within the observatorship programme, we took part at the renowned medical clinic Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin (Charité). Our stay has familiarised us with several campuses of hospitals and in-stitutions, all taking part of Charité. Within the scope of the observatorship, we got to know several medical professionals from different fields, we were able to observe their work, ethics and their approach to treating patients in outpatient clinics and in intensive care units. Additionally, we were presented with the clinical research conducted by many researchers in Charité’s laboratories. The experience of observing work and re-search at Charité has thus helped broaden our horizons, make new long-lasting interna-tional connections and introduced us to a new, different world of knowledge previously unfamiliar to us. Keywords: Observatorship; Interdisciplinary cooperation; Research; Student; Charité.
