Summer Program

Term: Summer I

In Cooperation with: Texas A&M University (TAMU) & Institute for Education and Social Innovation (ibugi)

The 6-week program AiB TAMU History of Medicine is directed at students of biomedical studies, biomedical engineering or veterinary medicine and combines the teaching of theoretical as well as practical skills from the fields of biology and medicine with an emphasis on the importance of the historical developments of said areas. The program does not only provide an overview of the history of medical sciences in Europe and the world, but also links its historical influences to today’s developments in medicine and biology. Thus, it broadens the students’ knowledge about and view of their field of studies while also comparing the similarities as well as differences between the German and US healthcare systems.
