Courses

Medical terminology

In this course, we want to give a brief introduction to the language of medicine.

History, theory, and ethics of medicine

In small groups and seminars, students will explore ethical and historical issues in medicine.

Ethics in the life sciences

The seminar covers fundamental ethical positions, arguments, and moral issues that arise in medical practice.

Counseling services for students

Students who have not successfully passed a repeat examination can seek advice from the lecturers at the Institute for Ethics and History of Medicine.
The issuance of equivalence certificates is also reviewed and arranged by the lecturers.


Please contact the institute's office, Ms. Elisa Kleinhans, for more information (elisa.kleinhans(at)med.uni-goettingen.de).
