          Abstract

          Aim: The model curriculum known as HannibaL is an integrated, professionally-based adaptive curriculum that began at the Hannover Medical School (MHH) during the 2005/06 academic year. HannibaL turns medical students into competent physicians through its patient-based interdisciplinary instruction. This paper provides an overview of the curriculum’s creation, educational content and philosophy and reflects on the experience that has been gathered. Also described are organizational and quality assurance measures which were also employed to implement the model curriculum.

          Method: The central ideas and processes are reported in a primarily narrative manner in an attempt to present the information coherently. The aspects discussed are setting up the model curriculum, central features of teaching and exams with their underlying educational premises; organization and evaluation are also covered in the context of the research literature on curriculum and faculty development. Developing the teaching and learning culture of the model curriculum is also explored.

          Results: The basic objectives were realized, including the design of learning spirals and intensifying the inclusion of patients and practical elements at the beginning of study. However, plans to allow students more freedom to pursue their own learning and research interests have not yet been satisfactorily implemented. Key areas to support teaching have been expanded (teacher training for instructors, student advising, course evaluations).

          Conclusion: The model curriculum and its aims are widely recognized and supported not only by medical students and instructors, but also external committees and experts. As a consequence, HannibaL will be developed further in upcoming years to implement the objectives which have not yet been met and to master new challenges faced by medical education.

          Zusammenfassung

          Zielsetzung: Zum Studienjahr 2005/06 wurde an der Medizinischen Hochschule Hannover der Modellstudiengang HannibaL (Hannoverscher integrierter berufsorientierter adaptiver Lehrplan) eingerichtet, der durch patientennahen, fachübergreifenden Unterricht die Studierenden zu kompetenten Ärztinnen und Ärzten ausbildet. Der Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über die Entstehung, die inhaltlichen und didaktischen Prämissen und reflektiert die gesammelten Erfahrungen. Ergänzend werden Maßnahmen der Studiengangsorganisation und der Qualitätssicherung beschrieben, die zur Umsetzung der Modellstudiengangsziele zum Einsatz kamen.

          Methodik: Die zentralen Ideen und Prozesse werden überwiegend narrativ berichtet. Dabei wird eine kohärente Darstellung angestrebt. Die Einrichtung des Studiengangs, zentrale Merkmale der Lehre, der Prüfungen und ihre didaktische Prämissen, ihre Organisation und Evaluation werden ebenso wie die Entwicklung der Lehr- und Lernkultur im Modellstudiengang vor dem Hintergrund der Forschungsliteratur zur Curriculumsentwicklung und zum Faculty Development diskutiert.

          Ergebnisse: Wesentliche Ziele – wie der Aufbau von Lernspiralen, die verstärkte Einbindung von Patienten und Praxiselementen von Beginn des Studiums an – konnten realisiert werden. Pläne, für die Studierenden vermehrt Freiräume für eigene Lern- und Forschungsneigungen zu schaffen, wurden dagegen noch nicht befriedigend umgesetzt. Schlüsselbereiche zur Unterstützung der Lehre (Didaktikkurse für Lehrende, Studierendenberatung, Lehrevaluation) wurden ausgebaut.

          Schlussfolgerung: Der Studiengang und seine Ziele finden bei Studierenden und Lehrenden sowie bei externen Gremien und Gutachtern breite Anerkennung und Unterstützung. Auf dieser Grundlage soll in den kommenden Jahren die Weiterentwicklung von HannibaL erfolgen, um einerseits noch nicht realisierte Ziele umzusetzen und andererseits neuen Herausforderungen zu begegnen, die auf die medizinische Ausbildung zukommen.

            Curricular change in medical schools: how to succeed.

            Society's changing needs, advancing knowledge, and innovations in education require constant changes of medical school curricula. But successful curricular change occurs only through the dedicated efforts of effective change agents. This study systematically searched and synthesized the literature on educational curricular change (at all levels of instruction), as well as organizational change, to provide guidance for those who direct curricular change initiatives in medical schools. The focus was on the process of planning, implementing, and institutionalizing curricular change efforts; thus, only those articles that dealt with examining the change process and articulating the factors that promote or inhibit change efforts were included. In spite of the highly diverse literature reviewed, a consistent set of characteristics emerged as being associated with successful curricular change. The frequent reappearance of the same characteristics in the varied fields and settings suggests they are robust contributors to successful change. Specifically, the characteristics are in the areas of the organization's mission and goals, history of change in the organization, politics (internal networking, resource allocation, relationship with the external environment), organizational structure, need for change, scope and complexity of the innovation, cooperative climate, participation by the organization's members, communication, human resource development (training, incorporating new members, reward structure), evaluation, performance dip (i.e., the temporary decrease in an organization's performance as a new program is implemented), and leadership. These characteristics are discussed in detail and related specifically to curricular change in medical school settings.
