Project summary

My dissertation focuses on the training techniques and technologies of a ‘classical profession’ in order to understand the subtle changes in the standards of professional teaching and work. In my case, the advent of simulation-based training in medical education. The research material therefore includes archival material, such as scientific articles and university curricula, following the introduction of simulation-based training in Germany since the 1980s, as well as expert interviews and site visits to represent the current state.
