Zusammenfassung

Die neue Approbationsordnung für Ärzte von 2002 will das Medizinstudium praktischer und praxisnäher gestalten. Diese neuen Ausbildungsziele machen entsprechende, passende Prüfungsformate notwendig. Im vorliegenden Beitrag werden neue Prüfungsformate dargestellt, die in der Pädiatrie erlerntes Wissen und erworbene Fertigkeiten valide und gerecht abbilden. Die Professionalisierung unserer Prüfungen wird maßgeblich darüber entscheiden, wie wir im nationalen und europäischen Wettbewerb um die besten Studierenden und die besten Absolventen abschneiden werden.

Abstract

The amendment of the German Medical Education Act (Approbationsordnung 2002) aims at a more practical and practice-related design of German medical curricula. The resulting training objectives call for corresponding exam formats. In this article we present an update of valid and fair exam formats suitable for assessing the knowledge and skills acquired in pediatric curricula. The mandatory professionalization of our local medical exams will ultimately determine how well German medical schools will do in the face of national and European competition for the best students.
