Abstract
Medical education has the responsibility to react to developments and changing demands in healthcare. This implies the need for experts in the area of medical education as well as nationally coordinated initiatives. An innovative model based on trans-institutional cooperation and nationwide consensus for establishing a master's degree course in Medical Education (MME) and long-term results are presented here to other countries and other programs, facing similar challenges. A MME program with the following goals was implemented at the Medical Faculty of Heidelberg University, Germany, in 2004: 1. Qualification of leaders in medical faculties, 2. professionalization and improvement of teaching quality, 3. promotion of nationwide and international exchange, and 4. stimulation of research in medical education. Since then, 15 cohorts with a total of 380 participants have started their studies, 179 participants have graduated and 90 publications resulted from the master's theses (as at November 2018). Evaluation and survey data revealed a very high degree of satisfaction among the participants and a lasting development to medical education experts. Our concept shows that the bundling of regional expertise into a clearly structured trans-institutional network can be a driving force for nationwide comprehensive changes, in order to address changing demands in healthcare systems and transfer it into medical education programs.
