title: Teamshaping in medical teaching: changing groups to teams.
abstract: The ability to work in teams is stated increasingly often as a prerequisite in medical job descriptions. At the Institute of Medical Psychology, University of Vienna, a team development model (Teamshaping) that integrates self-reliance, the acquisition of knowledge and team sensitivity has been developed over the years. The model is recommended for teaching medical students because it not only expands the integrated approach to small-group learning but also includes competence for teamwork.
