Dr. Theodor Windhorst über die UW/H
"Die Universität Witten/Herdecke bildet Ärztinnen und Ärzte sehr viel praxisorientierter aus als ich das von vielen staatlichen Unis kenne: Die Studierenden erwerben das Basiswissens anhand von konkreten Fallbeispielen statt in Vorlesungen, sie sind eingebunden in Sprechstunden niedergelassener Ärzte und nehmen in der Klinischen Ausbildung regelmäßig am bedside-teaching in den kooperierenden Kliniken teil - das sind für mich ebenso vorbildliche Ansätze wie das besondere individuelle Auswahlverfahren, das die Persönlichkeit der Bewerber in den Vordergrund stellt und nicht die Abiturnoten. Und mit dem Studium fundamentale lernen die angehenden Mediziner, ihr Fachwissen auch mit ethischen, politischen und gesellschaftlichen Fragestellungen zu verbinden."
Dr. Theodor Windhorst, Präsident der Ärztekammer Westfalen-Lippe (ÄKWL)
