Course objective

In Intensive course preparation for the pharmaceutical language examination (FSP), the relevant structures as well as the specifics of pharmaceutical professional competences are taught under the guidance of a licensed pharmacist. The (specialist) language skills are taught by a qualified language lecturer with relevant pedagogical aptitude and experience and trained using qualified simulation patients with relevant pedagogical and acting aptitude and experience.

E-Learning

In order to deepen the acquired knowledge, the participants have various e-learning formats at their disposal, such as quizzes, interactive scenarios or simulations.

Mentoring programm

With the mentoring programm, the participants are assigned German medical students, who support them in regular personal meetings and, if possible, provide concrete help with medical questions and learning methods.

Methodology

The course is characterised by a large variety of methods. In addition to group work, simulations, role plays and communication exercises, accompanying lectures provide the theoretical background. Dictionaries and lexicons are available in the library in the classroom.

One focus is on trial-oriented clinical case studies. This activates the participants' existing knowledge and imparts new knowledge, which is closely related to both the trial and their later professional reality. The intensive course is based on the didactic concept of Blendend Learning, which combines attendance and e-learning. The total number of participants is around 15.

Funding

The costs of the intensive training course can be financed by an education voucher from the employment agency or the job centre.

Certificate of participation

Upon successful completion of the course, participants will receive a certificate of participation.

Evaluation

For quality assurance purposes, the intensive course is evaluated twice (in the middle and at the end of the course) by the participants and the lecturers.
