Thematic workshops
- OSCE, internships, exams and life "on the side" -
Studying medicine is challenging - not only in terms of the subject, but also organisationally and emotionally. In addition to OSCE exams, written exams, clinical placements and learning phases, the question often arises: How do you actually remain yourself?
This is exactly where our workshops come in: We create a space for exchange, tips and mutual support - at eye level. Without pressure to perform, but with real added value.
Examinations
It feels like the first module has only just started and the first module examination is already just around the corner.
What is the best way to prepare for exams?
How do I deal with the amount of material?
Social pressure - how do I compare my learning and the successes achieved with it less or how do I deal with comparisons and where do I categorise them?
This session is intended to provide a good overview of what is really necessary for passing module examinations and learning.
Work shadowing
The first work shadowing usually comes sooner than you would like; after about 10 weeks of study.
In this workshop, we will share what our work shadowing sessions were like, answer questions and give tips on how to pass the first week of work shadowing well and take away as much as possible.
OSCE's
How do I survive my first OSCEs?
The first OSCEs are new and exciting, that much is clear!
How do you get through this time relaxed and well without going crazy or studying for days on end?
Our info session will be all about this; we will share our experiences and will be happy to answer your questions. For all those who didn't make it to the meeting, you can find the most important information at a glance in the PDF.
Clinical traineeship
Clinical traineeship - and now?
The first clinical traineeship is coming up - and with it many questions:
What is expected of me? What should I be able to do? How do I approach doctors or nursing staff?
Whether it's the hospital corridor or the doctor's surgery - the start can be challenging. This is exactly where our peer-to-peer workshop comes in.
In a relaxed atmosphere, students from higher semesters give honest insights into their experiences: What went well, what was uncomfortable, and what do they wish they had known beforehand?
Topics of the workshop:
How do I find a good traineeship position?
What should I be able to do professionally - and what not?
Dealing with uncertainty, stress and hierarchies
What am I allowed to do - what should I rather not do?
Practical tips: Clothing, learning aids & behaviour
What to do if things don't go well?
Goal:
More security, less stress - and a more realistic picture of how to get your clinical traineeship off to a good start. No perfect checklists, but honest tips from practical experience.

Brain overload - How do I sort out my chaos?
"Brain overload - how do I sort out my chaos?"
Studying medicine demands a lot: anatomy, clinic, exams, clinical traineeships - and a completely normal life in between. No wonder your head sometimes feels like a cluttered desk: thoughts fly around, to-dos pile up and stress knocks at the door.
What can you expect?
In this interactive workshop, we will talk openly about the typical stresses and strains of studying and share our experiences. We will show you simple, everyday methods for dealing with mental overload and preventing stress.
For all medical students - whether pre-clinical or clinical - who recognise the feeling that everything is "too much". You don't need any previous knowledge, just an open mind and perhaps a pen.
Aim:
To clear your head. Gain clarity. Find tools to sort out the chaos - and learn how to not only function, but also stay healthy.
Learning techniques
Spaced repetition, active recall or the Pomodoro technique - many people have heard of these learning strategies, but sometimes learning still doesn't work out as desired. Why is that? Because everyone learns differently! Our interactive "Learning to learn" workshop is all about this: we analyse your learning biographies, find out what works for you and develop suitable strategies. If you would like some ideas in advance, you can find out more here . We look forward to seeing you!
