Abstract

Patients with migration history often encounter barriers to accessing healthcare in Germany, which lowers the quality of care available to them and can affect their overall health. These barriers in access to healthcare are due to both adverse health policies and a lack of migration-related – and diversity-sensitive – content in medical and other health profession teaching. Although most healthcare professionals regularly care for patients with individual or generational migration experience in Germany, teaching content relevant to the healthcare of these patients has not yet been anchored in the curriculum. At best, it is taught in the form of electives or other optional courses. To address this gap, the Teaching Network Migration and Health was created with the goal of promoting the development of human rights-based, diversity-sensitive, and equity-oriented curricula at medical and healthcare professions schools. It aims to (1) connect individuals active in teaching and promote the exchange and collaborative development of teaching materials, (2) use this collective knowledge and experience to develop a model course on migration and health, and (3) develop strategies for the longitudinal implementation of this course into the regular medical and other health professional school curricula. These efforts are flanked by evaluative accompanying research. Anyone interested in joining the network is invited to join and strengthen the network by contacting the authors.
