Hannes G. Pauli

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hannes G. Pauli (born July 12, 1924 in Zurich ; † October 9, 2003 in Bern ) was a Swiss medical professor and reformer of medical training.

Live and act

After attending primary school and the literature high school in Zurich, Hannes Pauli studied medicine in Zurich, Bern and Paris from 1943. He passed the state examination in 1949. As a ship's doctor, he mainly got to know the port cities of South America before he spent the last years of his training from 1953 to 1957 in New York and Boston. Until 1965 he worked as an assistant and senior physician at the Medical Polyclinic of the University of Bern .

Medical training

In 1965, the Bern government councilor Simon Kohler commissioned him to study new models of medical training in Sweden, England, France and the USA. These experiences flowed into the study reform in Bern, which Hannes Pauli began to build up with Ettore Rossi . A nationwide reform of medical studies in 1971 largely adopted the Bern model (e.g. shortening the pre-clinical phase, massive reduction in lectures in favor of group and block teaching, introduction of an optional year of study).

The Institute for Training and Examination Research (IAE) was founded in 1971, and Pauli remained its director until his retirement in 1989. The IAE quickly became an internationally sought-after institution that received particular attention from the WHO . Pauli was a member and president of the "European Advisory Committee on Medical Research" EACMR, then a member of the "Global WHO Advisory Committee on Health Research", with the WHO Paulis Institute in the status of a "WHO Collaborating Center for the Evaluation of Health Personnel Performance." " he lifted.

In addition, Hannes Pauli - he was a full professor of internal medicine from 1969 - was also committed to patient-centered internal medicine at the Inselspital in Bern . In the Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ) of November 6, 2001, Pauli called for a new orientation in the understanding of medicine, which pays more attention to the doctor-patient relationship, the sociocultural environment and the balance between ratio and emotion. The medical students honored him in 1988 with the award of the title "Teacher of the Year".

General ecology

Hannes Pauli was concerned with interdisciplinary cooperation between the scientific disciplines. With this in mind, he also advocated a cross-faculty «General Ecology». This approach is based on the mutual interdependencies between humans and the environment with their physical, social, cultural, economic and political aspects. A central concern of Hannes Pauli was to enable students in each subject to attend more interdisciplinary events parallel to their disciplinary studies, which are credited to the regular studies. The conceptual framework for this is provided by the AGFAÖ's "spider model". In addition to offering interdisciplinary reading groups, the development of interdisciplinary seminars was a core concern.

Hannes Pauli was co-founder in 1984 and the first president of the working group for the promotion of general ecology (AGFAÖ). Due to a lack of university support, the political path was taken. By means of a parliamentary motion by Bernese cantonal parliamentarian Joy Matter , the University of Bern was given the following task in 1984: “By creating a facility for general ecology at the University of Bern, in which all faculties participate, a scientific contribution is to be made to address the various problems of industrial society in connection with economy and politics. " From 1987 Hannes Pauli represented the AGFAÖ in the newly created forum for general ecology , which was composed of representatives from all faculties, the student body and mid-level staff, as well as personalities outside the university. All of these efforts resulted in a cross-faculty institution in 1988, the Coordination Office for General Ecology (IKAÖ) .The chair holder was Jost Krippendorf until 1991 and Ruth Kaufmann until 2011.

In honor of its co-founder, the Working Group for the Promotion of General Ecology (AGFAÖ) was renamed the Hannes Pauli Society (HPG) in 2004 .
