Evidence-based medical education is playing an increasingly important role in the choice of didactic methods and the development of medical curricula and assessments. In Germany, a growing number of educational research projects has accompanied an ongoing change in the medical education process. The aim of this project was to assess medical education research activities at one medical faculty to develop procedural recommendations for the support and development of best evidence medical education. Using a newly developed online questionnaire, the 65 institutes and departments of the medical faculty of Hamburg University at Hamburg University Medical-Center (UKE) were asked to report their medical education research and service projects, medical education publications, medical education theses, financial support for educational projects, and supportive structures that they would consider helpful in the future. The data were grouped, and a SWOT analysis was performed. In total, 60 scientists who were involved in 112 medical education research publications between 1998 and 2014 were identified at the UKE. Twenty-five of them had published at least one manuscript as first or last author. Thirty-three UKE institutions were involved in educational service or research projects at the time of the study, and 75.8% of them received internal or external funding. Regular educational research meetings and the acquisition of co-operation partners were mentioned most frequently as beneficial supportive structures for the future. An analysis to define the status quo of medical education research at a medical faculty seems to be a helpful first step for the development of a strategy and structure to further support researchers in medical education.
循证医学教育在教学方法的选择、医学课程的开发以及评估中发挥着越来越重要的作用。在德国，越来越多的教育研究项目伴随着医学教育过程的持续变革。本项目的目的是评估某医学院校的医学教育研究活动，以便为最佳循证医学教育的支持与发展制定程序建议。通过一份新开发的在线问卷，汉堡大学医学中心（UKE）汉堡大学医学院的65个研究所和科室被要求汇报其医学教育研究与服务项目、医学教育出版物、医学教育论文、教育项目的资金支持以及他们认为未来会有帮助的支持性结构。数据进行了分组，并进行了SWOT分析。在UKE总共确定了60位科学家，他们在1998年至2014年间参与了112篇医学教育研究出版物。其中25人至少以第一作者或最后作者身份发表过一篇论文。在研究期间，33个UKE机构参与了教育服务或研究项目，其中75.8%获得了内部或外部资金。定期的教育研究会议和合作伙伴的获取被最频繁地提及为未来有益的支持性结构。对医学院校医学教育研究现状进行分析似乎是制定战略和结构以进一步支持医学教育研究人员的有益的第一步。
