from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Hamm (born February 27, 1922, † February 8, 2008 presumably Hamburg) was a German general practitioner and university professor.

He was the founder of general medicine at the University Medical Center of the University of Hamburg .

He was the son of a general practitioner and studied medicine at the University of Hamburg, specializing as an internist . After taking over his father's practice in 1955, he felt that his training was insufficient for the needs of the patients. As a result, he campaigned for the introduction of general medicine.

In 1970/71, the German Medical Association passed the four-year training regulations for general practitioners and Hamm was appointed the first lecturer in general medicine at the Hamburg-Eppendorf University Clinic.

He was also involved in professional political organizations and in the preparation of scientific congresses.

His textbook general medicine has appeared in several editions since 1975.
