title: [Curriculum and structure of modern medical education].
abstract: The Medical Faculty of the University of Zurich compiles a fundamental restructuring of the Medical curriculum. Basic conditions represent the new Swiss Federal law for the education in medical professions (MedBG), heterogeneous implementation stages of curriculum reforms of other Swiss Medical Faculties of the medicine as well as efforts to improve mobility of students. The strategy of the curriculum reform is represented based on the principles decided by the Faculty. The authors demonstrate the corresponding organizational structures and give a future view focusing on aspects of the implementation and the dynamic adaptation of curriculum items.
