Together for excellent teaching – crowdfunding for the MME degree program at the Faculty of Medicine Dresden

We would like to invite you to support the crowdfunding project to finance a scholarship for the Master of Medical Education (MME).

For many years, the Faculty of Medicine Dresden has actively invested in the qualification of its teaching staff – in particular by annually funding a place on the postgraduate Master of Medical Education (MME) degree program for a colleague. This degree program, which is established throughout Germany, is a central building block for the professionalization of medical teaching and strengthens the Faculty's position in a national comparison.

Unfortunately, due to current budget cuts, the Faculty is unable to fund the training grant of 26,500 euros for the 2026-2029 MME degree program. In order to close this gap and continue to guarantee high-quality teaching, a crowdfunding project has now been launched to enable a colleague to participate in the next MME degree program.

Why is the MME degree program so important for our faculty?

• Excellent medical teaching cannot be taken for granted - it requires qualification in a targeted manner.
• The MME provides teachers with high-quality and sustainable qualifications for interdisciplinary, innovative, science-based teaching across the entire faculty, as MME students act as multipliers (e.g. as trainers in the Carus Didactics Program, as advisors for innovative projects or contributors to strategic teaching decision-making processes).
• Other locations continuously invest in MME graduates - in order to remain competitive, Dresden must also continue to invest.
• As a partner location of the degree program, our faculty is actively involved in the implementation of a module.

How does crowdfunding work?

The donations are collected on a project-specific basis via the "Stiftung Hochschulmedizin Dresden". This foundation supports numerous initiatives at the interface between medicine, science and society and ensures transparent, earmarked use of the funds.
