[Integrative psychosomatics: contributions to a reform of medical training].
Medical training has so far mainly emphasised teaching of knowledge and neglected fostering of theoretical and practical competence in doctors' occupation. The consequences of these deficits are often experienced as "practice shock" when young doctors start working. New concepts of teaching moduls in psychosocial subjects may enhance medical competence. We present some of the contents and didactic concepts which we have implemented in the medical curriculum of Cologne University.
