P.A.L.M.E.

The Düsseldorf Curriculum Medicine – one of the most innovative model medical degree programs in Germany – is an expression of our consistent commitment to forward-looking medical education. Focusing on key medical skills, medical knowledge is taught in an interdisciplinary manner based on learning outcomes. Theory and practice go hand in hand from the very first semester.

In the immediate vicinity of O.A.S.E. – the “home” of our medical students – is a center of teaching: under the name “P.A.L.M.E. – Platz für Austausch, Lernen, Medizin und Entwicklung” (Place for Exchange, Learning, Medicine, and Development), the new building combines theoretical medicine and clinical practice, digital teaching, learning, and testing, as well as interdisciplinary collaboration on a completely new level. The innovative and interdisciplinary teaching and learning center thus embodies a fundamental component of our model degree program and our mission statement. It will make a significant contribution to the continuous improvement of the quality of studying and teaching in Düsseldorf.

Students and teachers will have over 6,500 square meters of floor space at their disposal, where they can develop further through lively interaction and mutual appreciation. In addition to lecture halls, seminar rooms, and open meeting areas, the building will house three teaching units that are closely linked to each other:
