The Hamburg Medical Association has granted Prof. Dr Ulf Baumgärtner, Professor of Physiology at the Faculty of Medicine, authorisation to provide further training in the field of physiology in 2022. MSH has thus become a training centre for specialists in this preclinical subject.

Medical staff at MSH therefore have the opportunity to train as specialists in physiology.

The field of physiology encompasses the study of the functions of the human body from the molecule to the organism.

The medical training curriculum for physiology comprises 48 months and can be completed in full at MSH. Up to 12 months of further training to acquire competences can be completed in other areas. In accordance with the further training regulations of the Hamburg Medical Association, keeping an online logbook is part of the training, in which training objectives and their fulfilment are documented.

Further training content includes the acquisition of methodological and cognitive skills in all areas of vegetative and neurophysiology, overarching skills and the acquisition of specific methodological and practical skills in medical-clinical examination techniques and cell biology examination techniques. The programme also focuses on teaching cognitive, methodological and practical skills in the field of research and teaching.

A detailed list of further training content can be found in section 27 (p. 135) of the 2020 further training regulations of the Hamburg Medical Association ‘.

Practical training is provided through extensive training in the context of physiology teaching for students of human medicine in the implementation and management of practical courses and seminars, through clinical methods through association with the university outpatient clinic and sports medicine at MSH and through access to the MSH research institutes, where relevant cell biological and cell physiological examination techniques such as patch-clamp, immunohistochemistry and the creation of cell cultures are taught.
