Medical education has the responsibility to react to developments and changing demands in healthcare. This implies the need for experts in the area of medical education as well as nationally coordinated initiatives. An innovative model based on trans-institutional cooperation and nationwide consensus for establishing a master's degree course in Medical Education (MME) and long-term results are presented here to other countries and other programs, facing similar challenges. A MME program with the following goals was implemented at the Medical Faculty of Heidelberg University, Germany, in 2004: Qualification of leaders in medical faculties, professionalization and improvement of teaching quality, promotion of nationwide and international exchange, and stimulation of research in medical education. Since then, 15 cohorts with a total of 380 participants have started their studies, 179 participants have graduated and 90 publications resulted from the master's theses (as at November 2018). Evaluation and survey data revealed a very high degree of satisfaction among the participants and a lasting development to medical education experts. Our concept shows that the bundling of regional expertise into a clearly structured trans-institutional network can be a driving force for nationwide comprehensive changes, in order to address changing demands in healthcare systems and transfer it into medical education programs.
医学教育有责任应对医疗保健领域的发展和不断变化的需求。这意味着需要医学教育领域的专家以及全国范围内协调一致的举措。本文向面临类似挑战的其他国家和其他项目介绍了一种基于跨机构合作和全国共识的创新模式，用于设立医学教育硕士课程（MME）及其长期成果。2004年，德国海德堡大学医学院实施了一个具有以下目标的MME项目：培养医学院领导人才、实现教学质量的专业化和提升、促进国内外交流以及推动医学教育研究。自那时以来，共有15个班级的380名学员开始学习，179名学员毕业，硕士论文产生了90篇出版物（截至2018年11月）。评估和调查数据显示学员的满意度非常高，并且朝着医学教育专家的方向持续发展。我们的理念表明，将区域专业知识整合到一个结构清晰的跨机构网络中可以成为全国性全面变革的驱动力，以应对医疗保健系统不断变化的需求并将其转化为医学教育项目。
