Medical Faculty Mannheim of the University Heidelberg

The Medical Faculty Mannheim of the University Heidelberg joined UCAN in spring 2009. A decisive factor for the membership was the idea of cooperation: All faculties work with very similar goals and examination contents, especially for MC exams. The exchange of questions and know-how regarding the creation of exam questions with other faculties is therefore very important. Particularly important is the objective of constantly increasing the audit quality and reliability through standardised audit processing and feedback of question quality to the examiners.

The examinations in Mannheim are characterised by a high examination frequency in the pre-clinical study section with intermediate examinations during the modules, which are intended to give feedback on the individual learning success. Just like the integrated modules in the pre-clinic, the examinations are interdisciplinary. In addition to MC exams, OSCEs, poster examinations and open text questions are also offered in the model study programme. In addition to the ItemManagementSystem (IMS), the EXAMINATOR is currently being used in Mannheim.
