The Commission for the Promotion of Young Talents of the German Society for Gynaecology and Obstetrics e.V. was founded in 2017, aiming to inspire medical students for a career in obstetrics and gynaecology by developing a concept for the first German Summer School in this field. Here, medical students shall be introduced to this multifaceted specialty and have their interest in it kindled.
This article reports about the experiences of the first gynaecological summer school which was held at the University Hospital Heidelberg for 2 days in August 2018. The programme included keynote presentations, discussion roundtables and skills-lab training. To assess students' related satisfaction, and to improve future projects, an evaluation survey with seven items and two open-comment questions was given to each participant after the event.
Mostly female students [n (♀) = 37, 93%; n (♂) = 3, 7%] from 15 different medical universities from all over Germany participated. Available places were booked within 1 week. Participants were in their clinical part of their studies between the 5th and 16th semester. The average rating of the event was excellent with 1.1 points (1 = best-5 = worst), while the selection of topics scored lowest marks with an average rating of 1.7 points.
Due to the great success, the high demand and the student's positive evaluation, annual summer schools in obstetrics and gynaecology are planned. Because most of the participating students have shown a high interest and have appropriate education in the domain, the information content of keynote presentations could be increased above basic level in future projects.
德国妇产科学会青年人才促进委员会成立于 2017 年，旨在通过制定德国妇产科学暑期学校的首个概念，激励医学生从事妇产科工作。在这里，医学生将对这一多元化的专业有初步了解，并激发他们对其的兴趣。
本文报告了 2018 年 8 月在海德堡大学医院举办的第一届妇科暑期学校的经验。该课程包括主题演讲、讨论圆桌会议和技能实验室培训。为了评估学生的相关满意度，并改进未来的项目，在活动结束后，向每位参与者提供了一份包含七个项目和两个开放式评论问题的评估调查。
来自德国 15 所不同医学院的学生（女性 n(♀)=37，93%；男性 n(♂)=3，7%）参加了此次暑期学校。可用名额在 1 周内被预订完。参与者的学习阶段在第 5 学期到第 16 学期之间。活动的平均评分为 1.1 分（1=最佳-5=最差），而主题选择的评分最低，平均评分为 1.7 分。
由于取得了巨大的成功、需求较高以及学生的积极评价，计划每年举办妇产科暑期学校。由于大多数参加的学生表现出了浓厚的兴趣和适当的教育背景，未来的项目中可以增加主题演讲的信息量，使其超出基础水平。
