Dr Lisa Dorscht from the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy enabled medical students in the preclinical phase to practise conversational situations in contact between doctor and patient in the context of role-plays, carried out via video conferencing, in practical interaction with each other.
The students were accompanied by the lecturers and also received feedback from their fellow students. Introductory videos were used to familiarise the students with the concept and procedure of the course in advance. In these videos, important theoretical content and models from previous semesters were also presented in a compact format. Students could contact one of the four tutors who supervised the course by email at any time.
The examination took the form of a portfolio. The digital teaching format was very well received by the students. The positive feedback from students and the possibility of being able to examine digitally in a competency-based manner outweigh the higher staffing costs for lecturers overall.
