Questions?

Exercise How do you feel about a ‘European perspective in medicine?’ What things should students realise when discussing this topic? Aim: fuel student discussion contributing to the MEDINE network, with your opinion on a European perspective in medicine.

Discussion We will break up in up to 4 small groups SWOT model on an aspect of medicine –Strength (status quo), Weakness (status quo) –Opportunity (future), Threat (future)

Example A European perspective in continuing professional development (CPD) –Strength: eaccme (European accreditation) –Weakness: no consensus on best practice of CPD –Opportunity: implement outcomes of research on CPD into practice –Threat: recertification exams / Administrative QA Disclaimer: not personal opinions, just an example to illustrate

Questions What is good about the current European perspective in: undergrad. ed. (1 st 6 years, Ba/Ma)? -- Strength What is needs to be improved currently? -- Weakness What would the ideal EU perspective look like in this study phase? – Opportunity Where do we foresee pitfalls when implementing EU perspective in this phase of education? -- Threat Now let’s break up into groups

Notes for facilitators Let the group pick a topic from the list (see note) Assign someone to make minutes on the flipchart You will probably be able to discuss 1 or 2 topics in the 30 minutes. Try to tightly moderate the discussion to get as much ideas / outcomes as you can, and try to politely cut off participants whom talk a lot with little content.
