What is the content of the course of studies?

Current developments in the health sector call for an increasing academisation of health professions such as nursing and therapy professions or midwifery. In medical training, innovative high didactic concepts are gaining in importance. Keywords in this context are Best Evidence Medical Education (BEME) or Best Evidence Health Professionals Education (BEHPE).

The Master’s programme is aimed at graduates of human medicine and dentistry, therapy and nursing sciences, medical education, medical management, public health / health sciences and other health-related degree programmes. It therefore addresses the entire spectrum of medicine and health professionals. The MSH focuses on an interdisciplinary and sector-integrating university concept and thus follows the recommendations of the German Science Council, among others, for inter-professional cooperation to improve the quality of health care.

The part-time model gives students in the family phase the opportunity to gain further academic qualifications alongside work and family. The courses take place on four block weekends per semester.

The Master’s programme was designed taking into account international standards of the World Federation for Medical Education (WMF) at the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) level. The common thread of the curriculum is the CanMeds framework concept based on the National Competence-based Learning Objectives Catalogue for Medicine (NKLM). In particular, the roles of the scholar, the communicator and the collaborator are addressed throughout and reflected on during the course.

The goals of the Master’s programme in Medical and Health Education are to enable students to teach independently, based on research and evidence, as well as to work practically on a scientific basis in all dimensions of higher education teaching and educational management in the tertiary education sector.

Study content:

Dimensions of teaching professionalism
Teaching and learning I: Didactics of the health professions
Teaching and learning II: Systematic planning of courses and competence-oriented examinations
Teaching and Learning III: Interdisciplinarity and interprofessionalism in medical and health professions education
Teaching and Learning IV: Digitalisation in higher education teaching

Where can I find employment later on?

Potential employers are all institutions that have a place in the digital health sector, i.e. healthcare providers (including hospitals), health insurers, pharmaceutical and medical technology companies, companies in the hardware and software industry, associations, chambers, universities and health policy. Not least to be mentioned are start-ups, which have a high share in the current dynamics in the health sector.

Concrete places of employment are, for example:

Medical technology companies
Pharmaceutical companies
Software companies (app developers)
Statutory health insurance companies and private health insurers
Hospitals, outpatient health care facilities and nursing homes
Public/governmental institutions (authorities, associations)

The future prospects are excellent. The digitisation of the German healthcare system is at the top of the agenda. Without this development, the German healthcare system will achieve neither the quality nor the efficiency goals. Since the development “actually” only began in 2016, there is still a long way to go, which our graduates can and should help shape in a wide variety of places. A look at job portals shows the growing demand in this segment, especially since such an interdisciplinary education is not reflected in the classic degree programmes. Our students report that they are already involved in practice as working students and experience an uninterrupted transition into professional life.

In what fields/subject areas can I work?

Graduates of the master’s programme DIGITAL HEALTH MANAGEMENT support the digital transformation of the German healthcare system. They develop, test, implement and monitor digital solutions based on an interdisciplinary understanding of the processes. You can say that you moderate and lead these change processes!

Helping to shape and drive the digital transformation process in the health sector is the overarching educational goal of the Master’s programme in Digital Health Management. While the focus in healthcare institutions is increasingly on strategic issues, the development on the part of IT producers and service providers also offers enormous potential. As a digital health manager, you can mediate at the interface of product and health system and help digital applications gain market access.

Note: The start-up scene in the German health landscape is growing. Many young companies are working on patient-related services. The possibility of also being able to place apps via prescriptions, i.e. in the 1st health market, opens up exciting prospects for new business models. Here, too, many options open up for you to actively shape the healthcare system of the future.
