Center for Primary Care

Welcome!

Thank you for your interest in the Centre for Primary Care at Regensburg University Hospital!

The newly founded Centre for Primary Care sees itself as a bridge between practice, research and teaching – and at the same time as an academic home for regional research and teaching practices. We are creating a central point of contact for promoting young talent in the field of primary care and establishing an innovative location for general medical prevention and healthcare research.

Through high-quality, contemporary and scientifically sound teaching, internationally networked research and practice-oriented training, we are committed to the sustainable securing and further development of primary care.

Research

The Regensburger Centre for Primary Care conducts research aimed at improving the prevention and management of long-term conditions in primary care, driving digital health transformation, and exploring the intersections between these areas.

We are passionate about reimagining how primary care is delivered, developing and evaluating innovative, evidence-based approaches that enhance efficiency, equity, patient healthcare experience and outcomes through interprofessional collaboration, digital integration, and community-based care models.

Our work employs a mixed-methods approach, including systematic reviews, meta-analyses, randomized controlled trials (RCTs), qualitative research, and statistical analyses of routine data.

We look forward to collaborating with national and international partners and engaging a wide range of stakeholders to advance our mission.

If you would like to learn more, collaborate, or explore an MSc or PhD thesis opportunity with us, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. We are looking forward to hearing from you.?

Teaching

The Centre forPrimary Care represents primary care teaching in the human medicine curriculum at the University of Regensburg. Teaching is organised by dedicated teaching staff in interactive lectures and seminars, with current developments and the latest research findings being integrated through innovative teaching methods. The focus is on the core content and tasks of general medicine, with a particular emphasis on the diverse work involved in primary care practices.

The training is supplemented by over 140 experienced teaching doctors from the Eastern Bavarian region, who enable ?practice-oriented learning?in their teaching practices. During a mandatory two-week block internship, students experience general medicine first-hand in the daily life of a primary care?practice.

Finally, the practical year takes place in carefully selected, qualified practices and offers the opportunity to?comprehensively explore?this multifaceted subject in all its breadth and depth.
