Abstract/OtherAbstract:
BACKGROUND: The introduction of the Bologna Process, in particular the implementation of a tiered structure of study programs and degrees, imposes quite some changes in most European higher education systems. The purpose of this article is to introduce some major points of the Bologna Process with regard to medical education in Germany and Europe and to reflect the process of the adoption of a two-cycle bachelor-master system in medicine. SUMMARY: International positions and perspectives of professionals, students, and politicians are discussed which underline the complexity and dynamics of the whole process in contemporary higher education. A short reflection to key aspects of the two-cycle system, and student mobility is provided. CONCLUSIONS: Higher education in the whole health care sector may benefit from the Bologna objectives leading to a more permeable, comparable, and compatible medical education system across Europe.
