Digital transformation makes it necessary to address issues which arise due to digitalization in diagnostics and therapy. This applies to to medical training and research as well. With DigiStrucMed, an innovative structure involving collaboration between medicine and computer science is going to come about on the part of MHH and its cooperation partners from the informatics departments at the Technical University Braunschweig and Leibniz University Hannover. Research issues close to clinical practice will be worked on jointly by medical students in the course of getting their medical degree and by informatics students in the course of getting their master’s degree. In the process the fellows profit from a training program which, alongside general competencies, primarily depicts subject matter dealing with digitalization.
