Diversity-specific differences in health, illness and access to a health system have meanwhile been studied well. Educating medical students offers good leverage for broadening this knowledge within the medical professions. One approach is to use elective subjects. The goal of this work is to compare the lecture series on Gender Medicine at the Medical Universities of Innsbruck and Vienna. The cornerstones of both of these lecture series (topics that vary per semester, various lecturers speaking on a predefined cross-cutting topic) are similar. Various approaches prevail for the target groups and the lecturers as well as the question of credit for external students. Both universities tackle different medical disciplines each semester while concentrating on gender-specific questions. Teacher evaluation in Innsbruck as well as the feedback from the students in Vienna show that the lecture series have a positive impact on how the various diversity categories influence health and illness. Ensuring that a particular leitmotif runs through the various lectures of a lecture series entails increased planning and organizational work. On the other hand, various medical disciplines and their perspectives can be presented in a lecture series. The lecture series are embedded in overall strategies at the two universities. Ensuring the sustainability of the integration of Gender Medicine as a cross-cutting topic in medical education is, however, only possible when combined with other efforts.
与此同时,健康、疾病以及医疗系统可及性方面因多样性而产生的差异已得到充分研究。对医学生进行教育为在医学专业领域拓展这方面知识提供了有力途径。一种方法是利用选修课程。这项工作的目标是比较因斯布鲁克医科大学和维也纳医科大学的性别医学系列讲座。这两个系列讲座的基石(每个学期主题不同,不同讲师围绕预先确定的交叉主题授课)相似。针对目标群体、讲师以及外校学生学分问题存在各种不同的做法。两所大学每学期都涉及不同的医学学科,同时专注于性别特定问题。因斯布鲁克的教师评估以及维也纳学生的反馈表明,这些系列讲座对各类多样性如何影响健康和疾病产生了积极影响。确保在一个系列讲座的不同课程中贯穿特定的主旨需要更多的规划和组织工作。另一方面,一个系列讲座可以呈现不同的医学学科及其观点。这些系列讲座融入了两所大学的整体战略。然而,只有与其他努力相结合,才能确保将性别医学作为医学教育中的一个交叉主题持续融入其中。
