Objectives: The care of severely injured patients is an interdisciplinary task. A large proportion of medical students will be involved in the care of seriously injured patients later in their medical career. The current medical curriculum does not adequately teach the technical and non-technical skills necessary for an adequate patient care.
Methods: We developed a new "blended learning" curriculum, made up of four learning modules, each consisting of a eLearning unit of 1-2h self-study and 3h long skills and simulation training. They are accompanying a 4-week clinical rotation in traumatology. The overall design was influenced by the CanMEDS (particularly the roles "Professional", "Leader" and "Collaborator") and in light of the recently adopted National Competency-based Objective Catalogue for Medicine. The learning modules take place in small groups of 8-9 students with 2 instructors with a clinical background in trauma surgery, anaesthesia and radiology.
Results and Conclusion: Two Pilot courses were instructed in the fall of 2015. Results derived for self and objective assessment showed that final year medical students can achieve the theoretic, practical and non-technical skills to perform as an effective team member in polytrauma care. An ongoing pedagogic research study investigates the effects on the competencies as "Leader" and "Collaborator". Initial results demonstrate an increase of the competency level.
New teaching strategies in traumatology should be implemented in order to advance the knowledge and skills of medical school graduates.
