LVR-Klinikum Düsseldorf Hospital of the Heinrich-Heine University ...

from the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy work
as examiners in the oral state examinations of students of
medicine and students of psychology.
The re-launch of the LVR-Klinikum’s web pages also
involved the section on academic teaching. The presentation
of lecture schedules, learning objectives and lecture slides
was overhauled and updated. The results can be seen in the
Internet under

Table 7 provides an overview of the courses offered at the
Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy during the
summer term 2010. It is planned to increase the proportion
of practice-centred tuition in small groups, despite the
large number of students, for example through new forms
of “problem-oriented learning” in the framework of the
medical faculty’s next curricular reform “Curriculum
2011”. Special seminars have already been developed to
teach students the fundamentals of psychopathological
diagnostics, an elementary skill that every medical doctor
and particularly every psychiatrist should have. The
technological potential of the video lab will be increasingly
exploited. Students will also receive guidance as to how to
conduct scientific research. Changes to the curricula of
psychology students appear to be impending in the wake of
a move at the Heinrich-Heine University from the traditional
“university diploma” to a system of bachelor’s and master’s
degrees. It is also planned to develop and extend existing
efforts in education research. In 2006, for example, the
Department conducted a survey about the stigmatisation of
the mentally ill among medical students, which is currently
being evaluated. At the moment, teaching research focuses
on the “Lack of Medical Doctors in Psychiatry” as part
of a research project supported by the World Psychiatric
Association (see also Chapter 3.1.3.4 – Destigmatising
Persons with Mental Illnesses).
