Although only founded as a full medical faculty in the autumn of 1993, by adopting some innovative approaches it is aiming to create a special environment for clinical
research and teaching that will allow it to
compete with more traditional institutions in Heidelberg, Tübingen, Göttingen,
and Munich.
«The intention is to train students for a variety of careers, to give them a skill set to
compete in a variety of
teaching and research disciplines or for industry jobs as well,» Sandercock said.
