One main responsibility of the division is university teaching. Our excellent and distinguished staff constantly plan, organize and improve the education of Medicine and Dentistry students in the areas of anesthesiology and emergency and intensive care medicine. The postgraduate education and training of physicians and other medical professionals is another major concern.

In the required tracks First Aid, Emergency Medicine I and II, medical students learn and practice emergency care for acutely ill and injured patients of all ages in cooperation with pediatrics and adolescent medicine staff.
