Abstract
To assess the current state of medical psychological teaching in Germany after implementation of the new legislation on licensure requirements for physicians (ÄappO), a survey of all departments/institutions was accomplished in 2005 by the teaching committee of the German Society of Medical Psychology (DGMP). For the analysis of the current teaching situation, questions about personnel requirements, subjects and aims of teaching, teaching courses and their contents, the wish for interchange and training, teaching material as well as strengths and weaknesses of teaching were posed. A total of n=26 of n=33 contacted medical psychology institutions participated. On an average, five members of staff take part in teaching. The results indicate that a wish for exchange and didactic training exists. Collected information will be used for developing an internet-assisted possibility to exchange teaching concepts, -topics and -material.
