Initiated by students, this pilot study examines how obtaining medical students' perspectives via a structured online survey may prove useful for curriculum deliberation. In 2012, 747 students of 32 medical faculties in Germany assessed disciplines specified in the Medical Licensure Act (AÄpprO) thereby concerning the allocation of teaching time, perceived usefulness regarding preparation for state examination and medical practice, their interest and motivation for studying as well as consideration for future work. Internal medicine, surgery, paediatrics, gynaecology/obstetrics and general medicine rank amongst the upper third regarding allocation of teaching time and perceived usefulness for future medical practice. Concerning both preparation for state examination and medical practice internal medicine ranks second, while surgery only 22 and 28 of 32, respectively. Some clinical-theoretical disciplines (e.g. pharmacology) are in the top ten regarding perceived preparation for state examination, too. Students who consider choosing internal medicine for future work rate associated disciplines significantly higher regarding usefulness for clinical practice (e.g. pharmacology) or motivation for studying (e.g. microbiology) than other students do. A simple survey reveals interesting data on students' perceptions and ideas of medical studies. Though the data are plausible, interpretations should be done with caution. Nonetheless, data like these should give rise to further questions and discussions, e.g. as part of curriculum deliberation.
这项试点研究由学生发起，探讨了通过结构化在线调查获取医学生的观点如何能为课程审议提供帮助。2012年，德国32所医学院的747名学生对《医疗许可法》（AÄpprO）规定的学科进行了评估，涉及教学时间分配、对国家考试和医疗实践准备的感知有用性、他们的学习兴趣和动力以及对未来工作的考虑。在内科、外科、儿科、妇产科和普通医学方面，教学时间分配和对未来医疗实践的感知有用性位列前三分之一。在国家考试准备和医疗实践方面，内科均排名第二，而外科在32所院校中分别仅排名第22和第28。一些临床理论学科（如药理学）在国家考试准备的感知方面也位列前十。考虑未来从事内科工作的学生认为相关学科（如药理学）对临床实践的有用性或学习动力（如微生物学）比其他学生评价更高。一项简单的调查揭示了关于学生对医学学习的看法和想法的有趣数据。尽管这些数据看似合理，但解释时应谨慎。尽管如此，这类数据应引发进一步的问题和讨论，例如作为课程审议的一部分。
