Project description

The DiversiOn project is developing, implementing and evaluating an online-based self-learning program for students and trainees in various healthcare professions. The aim is to strengthen diversity skills for patient-centered care.

The learning program is based on the KERN cycle of curriculum development and has a multimodal structure. In terms of content, it focuses on diversity dimensions such as age, gender, sexual orientation/gender identity and ethnicity. A diverse advisory board accompanies the project; the content development is supported by a Delphi process with experts.

DiversiOn addresses a structural gap: Diversity issues have so far only been selectively anchored in health-related training and study programs. The program aims to create a low-threshold, evidence-based opportunity that is accessible throughout Germany to systematically develop diversity skills in the healthcare sector and thus improve the quality of treatment.
