Society's goals
The association would like to stimulate and support medical training, further education and training, which aim at evidence-based , resource-saving and humane high-performance medicine and impart the ability to work with all health professions and lifelong learning. The secure pedagogical methods available for this purpose should be supported by activities of the GMA, e.g. B. through research projects and finding the best available evidence. Scientific and empirical research was and is the methodological approach of the GMA. The GMA organizes annual scientific conferences to exchange experiences.
Areas of activity that are specifically covered by the GMA (e.g. through committees / working groups):
- History of medicine - images and role models in teaching
- Reform of medical studies (model courses)
- Admission criteria for medical studies

- Quality of medical education
- Teaching and learning forms in basic, advanced and advanced training
- Curriculum development
- Development of medical learning centers (" Skills Lab ")
