The scramble for available places to study medicine in Germany continues. One of the core points within the "Master Plan 2020", which has been recently adopted, is the reform of teaching concepts at German medical faculties. In the future, students of human medicine are to be trained primarily based upon competence-oriented, integrated curricula. The present paper is intended to present modern teaching concepts and methods, as well as current examination formats, which play a special role in student training in orthopaedics and traumatology. Knowledge in the field of medical and evidence-based treatment strategies, clinical examination techniques, diagnostic/therapeutic procedures and hygienic working conditions are especially important. Individual courses with a focus on research-, practice- and competence-orientation are intended to help the students grasp the depth of the subject.

Background: Medical students often struggle to engage with and retain complex pharmacology topics during their preclinical education. Traditional teaching methods can lead to passive learning and poor long-term retention of critical concepts.
Objective: This study aims to enhance the teaching of clinical pharmacology in medical school by using a multimodal generative artificial intelligence (genAI) approach to create compelling, cinematic clinical narratives (CCNs).

Purpose: We aimed to create a tailored robotic surgery training program that addresses current challenges, enhances patient outcomes, and focuses on skills, knowledge, and strategy.
Description: This study assesses the strengths and weaknesses of existing robotic surgery training methods and proposes a personalized simulation training approach for specific surgical situations. The program emphasizes technical and manual skill development, a robust medical knowledge foundation, and strategic planning using the development, demonstration, discussion, and sharing (3DS) concept.

Designing effective and preferred teaching practices for undergraduate students are common goals in behavior analytic training programs. A preliminary study by Nava et al. (2019) showed that undergraduate students generally rated peer-generated examples of the principles of behavior analysis as more preferred, relatable, and culturally responsive than traditional textbook examples.

Background: Being able to measure informed choice represents a mechanism for service evaluation to monitor whether informed choice is achieved in practice. Approaches to measuring informed choice to date have been based in the biomedical hegemony. Overlooked is the effect of epistemic positioning, that is, how people are positioned as credible knowers in relation to knowledge tested as being relevant for informed choice.
