in information transfer and communication in various practical contexts is the focus here.
is the focus. The aim is to strengthen skills in dealing with digital information and media and their use in communication with patients, affiliates and other laypersons, as well as within and between healthcare organisations and in research. Our content will enable you to communicate more successfully in your everyday professional life.
The degree programme provides in-depth knowledge of eHealth literacy, technical basics, evidence and risk communication, digital communication and its possible applications, as well as ethical, legal and economic aspects in the implementation of eHealth applications. Students learn to adapt information and specialist knowledge to the health literacy of their dialogue partners and to find optimal communication strategies. This is also linked to communication as a leadership and management skill, so that participants are able to take on central tasks in healthcare organisations.

Prospects
Digitalisation will change Medicine dramatically in the coming years. Telemedicine is just the beginning. These possibilities offer opportunities for better care, but also the risks of increasing distance and alienation from the patient. The working world of the future will be even more characterised by complex human-machine interactions and network structures. However, areas with poor healthcare provision in particular can benefit significantly from this and compensate for staff shortages and rural exodus. For many activities, sensibly utilised digital applications can provide relief that we can use for other core tasks.
Furthermore, the communication of research ideas and results to laypeople will be of great importance in the future.
