Training and continuing education are key to creating adaptable competence profiles for changing work and environmental conditions. This is also and especially true for medical disciplines. The quality of continuing medical education offerings depends to a large extent on the professional and didactic experience of the teaching staff and, not least, on an ideal technical and spatial infrastructure.
The Medical Faculty of the University Hospital of RWTH Aachen offers in CT², the Center for Teaching and Training with the Demo-OP (demonstration operation room) an excellent infrastructure for the realization of first-class medical continuing education. Together with the specific know-how and fresh frozen specimens of the Anatomical Institute, events can be held at the highest level for all surgical disciplines.
Multifunctional utilization and cooperation concepts are jointly created, from which innovative solutions for the challenges of high-performance medicine emerge.

City of Aachen
“Dreiländereck”, beauty & history
Situated in the tri-border region of Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands, Aachen enchants visitors with its monuments, squares and winding alleys. But not only the location in the tri-border region or the beautiful old town make the westernmost city in Germany so special.
In Aachen, more than 2,000 years of history meet 60,000 students. That’s why the city is also best known for Aachen Cathedral, Germany’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the large number of young people.
Relevance of the RWTH Aachen University Hospital
