Patient interviews in interprofessional and intercultural contexts (PinKo) – project report on interdisciplinary competence development in students of medicine pharmacy and community interpreting

摘要

Background: Hospitals and other medical institutions must prepare for a further increase in patients who are either immigrants or Germans with a migration background. In spite of the unquestionable educational and socio-political relevance of this topic, most German universities do not offer a comprehensive curriculum aimed at increasing intercultural awareness and putting it into practice in the training of students in medicine and pharmacy. Against this background, this article presents the innovative teaching project “Die Triade”, which was jointly implemented by the Departments of Medicine, Pharmacy and Translation Studies at the University of Mainz.
