Prof. Michael Sander, the newly elected Voykan, will support Lohmeyer. Sander is also an established personality in the field of anesthesiology and brings extensive experience from his previous management work at the Charité Berlin. The two doctors have the opportunity to strengthen the research activities in the Department of Medicine and to implement innovative approaches in the training structure.

The perspectives for the Department of Medicine

The new term for Lohmeyer and Sander will last until September 30, 2027. The choice for the studio ski will take place on October 14, 2024 at the first department of the Winter Semester 2024/25 and could continue to stabilize the management level. The upcoming change offers the opportunity to bring fresh impulses to the curricula and to promote interdisciplinary cooperation.

social importance of the change

The change in the dean's management comes into focus at a time when questions of medical training and the quality of care in society are becoming increasingly important. The management of the department is not only important for the students, but also for the entire region, since Cologne and Marburg as university medicine locations play an essential role in medical care.

The coming months promise to be exciting, while the new dean's team is working on the implementation of their visions and lies the foundation for future successes.
