• 3.1 Organisation

History

The plan to build a second medical school next to the University of Göttingen in Lower Saxony, goes back to the year 1961. Founding Rector of the Medical University of Hannover was the Göttingen Internist Professor Dr. Rudolf Schoen (1961 to 1967). First elected Rector was the internist Prof. Dr. Fritz Hartmann. The Science Council had recommended to build seven new medical teaching institutions in Germany.

This start-up should, however, not only relieve the existing facilities, but also be used to implement reform ideas in training new doctors. This idea follows, already differs from the organizational structure of MHH from that of a classical university and is based rather on the Department structure of American universities. The individual departments of the MHH were assigned centers, which in turn into four sections ( Pre-clinical subjects, Large clinical disciplines, Small Clinical, Clinical and Theoretical Subjects Subjects ) are summarized.

As an academic and clinical facility MHH chose the motto In necessariis unitas, in dubiis libertas, in omnibus caritas, with the ideals and objectives should be outlined as an obligation and duty. The words unitas libertas caritas therefore also reflected in the academic logo of the university, on the chain of office of the Rector and the seal again. It was designed, as well as the high relief, which is located in the Clinical Teaching Building, by the sculptor Kurt Lehmann ( 1905-2000 ).

Just four years after its establishment took the Hannover Medical School in 1965 to the teaching with 41 students enrolled. Lack of own spatial possibilities was the first teaching hospital in urban Oststadt in Hanover. At the same time made ​​the foundation stone, and then the establishment of the new university on a 400,000 square meter site in Roderbruch. By the year 1978, here came all the basic facilities like Central Hospital, polyclinics, Children's Hospital, Department of Dentistry, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, the library, various laboratory buildings, teaching buildings and auditoriums as well as utility and administrative buildings, dormitories and apartment buildings. Another building was added only in recent years, since 2004, the Women's Hospital and the " Rudolf Pichlmayr " home transplantation and research. The Department of Plastic, Hand and Reconstructive Surgery pulled of the year 2006 from the Hospital Oststadt Heath House in the clinic of the MHH.

From 1973 to 1997, the Hannover Medical School Hannover operational research reactor, a nuclear reactor for the production of radioactivity for nuclear medicine.

The Hannover Medical School is built as a campus university, with orthopedics in Annastift is only one department in an external hospital.

Repeats for discussion was the conversion of the Hannover Medical School in a foundation university.

Research and teaching

Ever since the foundation of the university in the sixties followed the Hannover Medical School ( MHH), a concept of cooperation between teachers and learners " in small groups at the bedside ." In this approach, reinforced by the new licensing regulations for physicians who MHH holds her new study model " HannibaL " on the successful teaching concept.

At the Hannover Medical School 3,000 students are enrolled. Of these, about 2,500 study human medicine, about 430 dentistry.

Medical students must complete her final year as a Practical year at the University Hospital of their university or an academic teaching hospital. Students can complete their practical year at over 50 teaching hospitals.

Hospital

The Hospital of the MHH is a hospital with a supra-regional catchment area. The University Hospital has 90 stations with over 1,400 beds.
