Project content 'DigiMedfF'

The DigiMedfF project, Digital Future of Medicine for Women, funded by the Ministry of Science and Culture of Lower Saxony, was approved for 15 months on October 10, 2017. After narrowing down the content to the area of digital skills required in the future for practising the profession of physician - i.e. the skills to be taught in initial, continuing and further medical training in digitalized medicine - it was able to start work when the project coordinator took up her post on 1 March 2018. It is designed as an explorative qualitative research project. Expert interviews form the core of the project, which is supported and co-directed by a multidisciplinary scientific advisory board. The aim is to be able to identify possible deficits on the path to digitalized medicine and to find indications that will enable female physicians to participate equally in the development of modern medicine in the future. The initial results of the study were presented at the "Gaps in the system" conference on May 8, 2019. Based on the qualitative results, a quantitative survey will then be carried out, in the course of which the results from the first part of the project will be checked for their general validity and possible cause and effect relationships will be identified. The results of the study will be published together with other articles and conference contributions in an anthology on 10.08.2020.
