To improve medical studies, the Medical School of the University of Heidelberg introduced in 2001 a new modular, topic-oriented curriculum for approximately 260 students with a special focus on multi-disciplinarity, thus breaking the seal of traditional disciplines. The new curriculum (Heidelberg Curriculum Medicinale--HeiCuMed) introduced new methods of teaching and in addition to the traditional examinations, developed new methods of testing clinical-practical, respectively communication skills, such as the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE). Child and Adolescent Psychiatry gained greater importance within the new curriculum and courses are now mandatory. Particularly the new methods of teaching provide an opportunity to make studies in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry even more attractive to students and to strengthen the position of the discipline within the schools of medicine.
为了改进医学研究，海德堡大学医学院于2001年为大约260名学生推出了一种新的模块化、以主题为导向的课程，特别注重多学科性，从而打破了传统学科的界限。新的课程（海德堡医学课程——HeiCuMed）引入了新的教学方法，除了传统考试外，还开发了测试临床实践和沟通技能的新方法，如客观结构化临床考试（OSCE）。儿童和青少年精神病学在新课程中的重要性日益增加，现在相关课程是必修课。特别是新的教学方法为让学生对儿童和青少年精神病学的学习更感兴趣以及加强该学科在医学院校中的地位提供了机会。
