Education

Education not only of medical students and physicians but of the whole public is one of our core missions.

In a first step, we will provide educational videos of student lectures that were held for medical students at RWTH Aachen University.

Here are my latest videos, held in the winter semester 2016/17. They are all in German language.

These and some of my older videos can also be found in my Youtube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC93XbcfQSCz1rvGJ7vYujjA.
