Abstract
Background: The Masterplan Medicine 2020 adopted in 2017 entails many changes to the medical studies curriculum. The new structure affects the content of the coursework and its main focus. A major goal of this masterplan is to prepare young physicians by teaching the skills that are essential for the future profession. The National Competence-Based Learning Objectives Catalog for Medicine (NKLM) provides the basis for the teaching content.
Methods: The Working Group Teaching of the German Society of Ophthalmology (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Lehre der DOG) actively supports this transformation. In cross-site collaboration, teaching materials for various teaching formats have been compiled by relying on the NKLM (e.g., recordings of operations, slides for small group instruction, image galleries, case studies). An online library named the DOG-EyeTeacher was then created.
Results: The aim of the DOG-EyeTeacher is to relieve the training clinics and to establish basic standards in teaching materials, thereby enabling the necessary focus on medical education. The provision of these teaching materials should deepen the interest in ophthalmology among future doctors.
Conclusion: The DOG-EyeTeacher is our response to the challenges associated with the planned restructuring of the medical curriculum. Since October 2023, any DOG member involved in teaching can create an account free of charge to use our materials.
