Introduction: Currently the way of teaching in medical education is changing. It develops more and more from teaching just factual knowledge to teaching competence levels and practical techniques [1], [2]. Facing the problem of vaccine fatigue [3] we decided to develop and implement a competency- based curriculum on vaccination. This implementation is a process that requires but also establishes a new kind of behavior and thinking about the way of teaching and interdisciplinary interaction. To improve this interdisciplinary interaction we designed a longitudinal curriculum on vaccination.
Methods: The Medical Faculty of LMU identified five competence based learning objectives that weren’t part of the curriculum up to now. A consensus conference with faculty, students and external academic teachers developed a consensus plan to implement these new learning objectives into the medical curriculum.
Results: All new five competence based learning objectives could be implemented into the curriculum of the medical faculty of LMU Munich. Altogether the competency-based curriculum on vaccination includes 35 learning objectives that are represented longitudinally in the medical curriculum.
Discussion: Using the example of vaccination we found a method of developing and implementing new competency-based longitudinal curriculum with concerted learning objectives. This method can be assigned to other curricular topics at LMU and at other medical universities. An open question is whether teachers actually adopt the new learning objectives and whether the change is sustainable.
