Abstract

Implementation of context-based, application-oriented teaching formats as recently claimed for pharmacological education to improve the quality of prescriptions, is possible, as the Cologne example shows. The student evaluation turns out positively and indicates a critical self-reflection. The students identified various pharmacological deficits in themselves, which have since been confirmed and quantified in another study.
