Figure 1. Organisational concept for structuring the collaboration and communication between the Competence Centre for Medical Didactics (project lead, design agent), the transfer agents, the dean of study and teaching / dean's office of student affairs and the departments. On the right side of the diagram the most important tasks of the respective organizational levels are displayed. Ensuring the information flow to the higher levels is highly relevant to keep all stakeholders informed about the consented project progress; this was illustrated by arrows labeled with “report”. At the other faculties, the local transfer agents generally took over the coordination of the departments as well as to the coordination with the dean's office of student affairs.

(Abbreviations: MD=Medical didactics, MME=teachers with the degree “Master of Medical Education”)
