Course Content
The learning process of the course includes didactic teaching and places a great emphasis on interactive participation. Each module includes the following activities:
Lectures
State-of-the-art lectures and updates on important drug, diagnostic and therapeutic areas and issues. These will be followed by in-depth discussions. Summary, slides and reference list of each lecture will be provided in the course file.
Case Studies
Participants work in small interdisciplinary teams on ‘real-life cases’. Problems are analysed and discussed together with faculty members. Participants try to reach common strategy, which is the presented and defended in a roundtable discussion. Three weeks prior to each course module you will have the option to download the documents and background literature of the case studies from our homepage. We expect you to read the material in advance, in order to be able to actively discuss the problem.

Short case studies enhance the modules with the aim to involve and provoke participants.
