General Training Objective:

After content that tends to be detail science-centered, the goal is to synthesize what has been learned so far in the first year of study into a synthesis of ecological, human science, psychological, and humanities content. The knowledge, attitudes, and mindsets associated with this synthesis are intended to lay an intellectual foundation for clinical thought and action as it is increasingly taught in the following sections of the program. Specifically, the fundamentals of the external causes of disease as well as the evolutionary-biological, psychological, social, gender-specific and transcultural conditionality of health and disease and family medicine are to be taught. Last but not least, the individual medical attitude shall be promoted by motivation and sensitization for ethical questions.
