Radiation protection
In addition to providing advice and information about the possible dangers of ionising radiation during your studies or professional activities in the partner clinics, teaching hospitals, doctors' practices and other external facilities, our field of activity also includes the practical organisation of personal dosimetry.
Ionising radiation, as it is often used in medicine for imaging or therapy, can lead not only to deterministic damage but also to changes in the genetic material (stochastic damage) and thus contribute to the development of cancer. Therefore, the legislator has enacted a number of laws and regulations in the Radiation Protection Act and the Radiation Protection Ordinance to prevent or minimise the dangerous effects of ionising radiation.
Our goal is to integrate the legal requirements of radiation protection into your curriculum or professional activity in such a way that occupational health protection does not conflict with professional requirements. Radiation protection is health protection!
- However, we need your help so that we can take action. Please contact us in good time (at least 4 weeks in advance) if you will have to deal with ionising radiation in the context of planned internships or activities.
- For information on the necessity of personal dosimetric monitoring in the partner clinics and teaching hospitals as well as medical practices, please contact us.
- We will advise you confidentially!

Feedback on teaching and programme organisation
- Teaching feedback: The course evaluation is a structured element to give teachers feedback on their courses. Use it to give your teachers feedback on how you experienced the course, what you think was positive and what you think there is room for improvement. Information on the course evaluation of the CvO as well as the contact details of the evaluation officer of the FK VI can be found here.
- Feedback on the organisation of the study programme can be sent to the programme & teaching and examination coordinators (Human Medicine) of the respective study programme.
- Feedback on the degree programme and on the further development of the degree programme: The first point of contact for students to participate in the further development of the degree programmes are the student representatives of the degree programmes. The student representatives organise the representation of the students' interests in various committees and are involved at all levels in the design of the curricula and the planning of courses.
Complaint management
In everyday university life, despite the efforts of everyone involved, situations may arise in which you feel unfairly treated and disagree with the behaviour of a teacher. There may also be different ideas about what constitutes an appropriate amount of work or a meaningful didactic concept for a course. In such cases, it is important to be able to give quick and appropriate feedback.
