A comprehensive, integrated support programme for new international students of medicine has been developed, implemented and evaluated at the Charité. The objectives of the programme were improved social integration, orientation on the study program and Charité campus, as well as qualification in medical specialist language. The "Charité Orientation Module for International Students" (ChOIS) was designed by a working group with a variety of expertise in the field of international students. The programme has three stages: Recruitment (specific invitation on matriculation); Orientation week before semester start; and Parallel events during the first semester. ChoOIS was piloted in the Winter Semester 2015/16 and, following evaluation, continued in a modified form in the Summer Semester 2016. Key features were: Welcome and social integration by faculty welcome-events and student group activities; Orientation on the study program, on teaching infrastructures at the Charité and on student life in Berlin by senior medical students; and Training in language for medical communication and bedside teaching by professional lecturers. Results of evaluations conducted after the orientation weeks, at the end of the semester and retrospectively in the 3rd semester produced high approval ratings of the individual features of the ChOIS-programme and of the programme as a whole by participating students. A comprehensive, integrated support programme for new international students of medicine has been developed and implemented. The ChOIS-programme can serve as a practice model to guide other medical faculties. In future, a programme that goes beyond the start of the course and includes more involvement by senior students would be desirable.
在夏里特医学院已经制定、实施并评估了一项针对国际医学新生的全面综合支持计划。该计划的目标是促进社会融合、熟悉学习计划和夏里特医学院校园环境,以及提升医学专业语言能力。“国际学生夏里特定向模块”(ChOIS)由一个在国际学生领域拥有多种专业知识的工作组设计。该计划有三个阶段:招生(入学时的特定邀请);学期开始前的迎新周;以及第一学期的并行活动。ChOIS在2015/16冬季学期进行了试点,并在评估后于2016年夏季学期以修改后的形式继续开展。主要特点包括:通过教师迎新活动和学生团体活动实现欢迎与社会融合;由高年级医学生介绍学习计划、夏里特医学院的教学基础设施以及柏林的学生生活;由专业讲师进行医学交流和床边教学语言培训。在迎新周结束后、学期末以及第三学期进行回顾性评估的结果显示,参与计划的学生对ChOIS计划的各个特点以及整个计划的认可度都很高。已经制定并实施了一项针对国际医学新生的全面综合支持计划。ChOIS计划可以作为一个实践模式来指导其他医学院。未来,一个超越课程开始阶段并让高年级学生更多参与的计划将是可取的。
