Qualification profiles

Contactless measurement methods, telemedicine, augmented reality? The intelligent use of technology in emergency medicine is no longer a dream of the future. Medical students can also make their own contribution to shaping the future. As part of the qualification profile Anaesthesiology, Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine, Pain Therapy (AINS), two seminars are offered dealing with medical technology in anesthesiology and telemedicine, in which the students are not only able to get exciting insights into the technology and possibilities, but also become active themselves.

Innovative medical technology in anesthesiology

The aim of this seminar ("innovation workshop") is to actively develop innovative ideas and concepts for the future. For this purpose, the following main topics are dealt with on seven dates:

 

Disaster Medicine

Disasters are increasing continuously. The tragedy at the Love Parade, the attack at Breitscheidplatz, and the flooding are just a few examples of disasters in Germany. In a disaster situation, emergency responders are faced with an entirely new challenge: an unknown situation, many casualties, and few resources. This makes it all the more important to learn the basics of disaster medicine as well as operational leadership from a tactical perspective, and to understand operational concepts and procedures. The qualification program (QP) takes place in cooperation with the Aachen Institute for Rescue Medicine and Civil Protection (ARS) and the Johanniter Unfallhilfe e.V. in Aachen. The teaching team consists of experienced professionals from emergency medicine, the fire department, and disaster control, in order to provide an overview of leadership, tactics, and the specific aspects of disaster medicine.

The main topics are:

  1. Fundamentals of civil protection
  2. Visit to a NRW operational unit
  3. Leadership and tactics I
  4. Leadership and tactics II
  5. Triage and disaster medicine
  6. Disaster medicine II
  7. Innovations in disaster medicine
  8. Final exercise

With innovative teaching tools such as a tabletop simulation, methods from leadership training are integrated into the QP. A simulation mannequin is also available for practicing disaster medical procedures.

The QP is offered for all semesters. No prior experience is required.

Pre-hospital emergency medicine and telemedicine (science, communication, practical skills)

With the tele-EMS physicians, we have the unique opportunity in Aachen to experience an early innovation from emergency medicine. On the one hand, this qualification profile improves the knowledge about the benefits, challenges and special features of the application of tele-emergency medicine in cooperation with the Aachen Institute for Rescue Management &Public Safety (ARS). Patient safety, algorithm-based work (e.g. trauma patients), but also the interfaces to modern disaster medicine play a role here. On the other hand, the QP offers insights into the processes of modern pre-hospital emergency medicine with a high proportion of practical case studies and training situations.

Main topics of the course dates:

  1. Rescue service introductory event
  2. Tele emergency medicine 1 & 2
  3. Patient safety & algorithms (including simulation)
  4. Trauma care (practical training)
  5. Life-threatening clinical pictures / resuscitation (practical training)
  6. MANV / Disaster Medicine (practical workshop)
  7. Telemed. Acute care outside the emergency services (practical workshop)

Is offered for semesters: 7, 9 (with previous rescue service experience, the QP can also be selected earlier in the course of the studies after consultation)
