Medical Faculty Ostwestfalen-Lippe at Bielefeld University (foundation stage)

“In Ostwestfalen-Lippe we will establish a new medical faculty in Bielefeld, which is a hub for higher education. The proposed training of additional doctors will be in line with the “Bochum Model”. Above all, the medical training in the region will focus on improving medical care in rural areas in the long term. To this end, general medicine will be of particular importance to this project as well as the establishment of networks with academic teaching hospitals and medical practices in rural areas.”
