Colloquium (virtuell)

Health sciences and medicine - two sides of the same coin?

Human medicine and the health sciences are concerned with research into the causes and spread of diseases, their therapy and issues of prevention. While the health sciences - based on the salutogenetic approach - place a special focus on health-promoting aspects and take a population-based view, medicine in most subjects tends to follow the pathogenetic approach and focuses on the individual.

Both disciplines complement and enrich each other in many ways and in a wide variety of content-related, methodological, and profession-related places.

Against this background, the lecture will address the following questions:

  • Which synergies can be identified, related to health sciences and medicine?
  • What differences and points of friction exist between the two disciplines and how could these be mitigated?
  • How can the many synergies and commonalities be used more effectively in the future to optimize research, teaching and care in the context of neighboring disciplines?
