In this module, the? Chair of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology delivers focused, compact teaching of chemical, biochemical, and molecular biology topics. Through seminars and (online) exercises primarily aimed at first-semester students, the emphasis is on building a solid foundation of scientific knowledge that integrates theory with practical application. Topics include, for example:

?

• Biomolecules, structure and function of the cell
• Chemical arithmetic and chemicals
• Acids, bases and buffers?
• Food and digestion
• Breakdown of nutrients
• Metabolic integration
• Laboratory methods in diagnostics
• Coagulation and coagulation disorders
• Immune system

The? Chair of Physiology?focuses on a targeted introduction to key physical and physiological concepts in this module. Early seminars and online sessions aim to build a solid foundation in physics to support the understanding of fundamental physiological processes. The module integrates theoretical knowledge with practical applications, concentrating on the following topics:

?

• Light, radiation and radiation protection
• Pressure in liquids and gases, partial pressure, diffusion and osmosis?
• Forces and torques
• Hydrodynamics and blood flow
• Sound, hearing and vision
• Hearing tests, ultrasound and cardiotocokinetography
• Thermodynamics and heat balance

In this module, the? Chair of Anatomy and Cell Biology covers macroscopic and microscopic anatomy topics essential for future midwives. Key areas include the anatomy of the musculoskeletal system, internal organs, and nervous system, with special emphasis on embryonic development, the functional anatomy of the female reproductive organs, and morphological changes during pregnancy.

?

The? Chair of Physiology?provides foundational and applied knowledge on the functions of the nervous and pain systems, musculoskeletal system, reproductive organs, digestive system, kidneys and urinary tract, heart and circulation, respiration, and the endocrine system.?Additional topics include:

?

• Light, radiation and radiation protection
• Pressure in liquids and gases, partial pressure, diffusion and osmosis?
• Forces and torques
• Hydrodynamics and blood flow
• Sound, hearing and vision
• Hearing tests, ultrasound and cardiotocokinetography
• Thermodynamics and heat balance

Practical application is emphasized by integrating clinically relevant topics with the latest scientific insights. Teaching combines face-to-face seminars and online units in a didactically balanced manner to enhance learning outcomes.

In this module, the? Chair of 伟德国际_伟德国际1946$娱乐app游戏ical Psychology and Sociology teaches the basics of empirical research (e.g. hypotheses, operationalisation, study designs), scientific thinking (e.g. reading and interpreting scientific articles from the midwifery sciences) and inferential statistics (e.g. T-test, correlation, SPSS). The aim is to introduce midwifery students to scientific work and to teach key scientific skills, in particular the critical reading of scientific studies

In this module, the? Chair of 伟德国际_伟德国际1946$娱乐app游戏ical Psychology and Sociology teaches fundamental aspects of communication and observation skills. The focus here is on teaching evidence-based communication theories and communication techniques, which are tested in practice with simulated persons in the role of pregnant women and women who have recently given birth for different areas of midwifery work. These discussions are accompanied by detailed feedback. Teaching takes place in close cooperation with the drama patient programme.

In this module, the? Chair of 伟德国际_伟德国际1946$娱乐app游戏ical Psychology and Sociology teaches health psychology approaches focused on prevention and health promotion. Students learn theoretical principles and models of health promotion, explore occupation-specific topics, and practice communication skills through simulations with standardized patients portraying pregnant women. Teaching is closely integrated with the drama patient programme.
