Exercise
• How do you feel about a ‘European perspective in
medicine?’
• What things should students realise when discussing
this topic?
Aim: fuel student discussion contributing to the
MEDINE network, with your opinion on a European
perspective in medicine.

Discussion
• We will break up in up to 4 small groups
• SWOT model on an aspect of medicine
– Strength (status quo), Weakness (status quo)
– Opportunity (future), Threat (future)

Example
• A European perspective in continuing professional
development (CPD)
– Strength: eaccme (European accreditation)
– Weakness: no consensus on best practice of CPD
– Opportunity: implement outcomes of research on CPD into
practice
– Threat: recertification exams / Administrative QA
Disclaimer: not personal opinions, just an example to illustrate

Notes for facilitators
• Let the group pick a topic from the list (see note)
• Assign someone to make minutes on the flipchart
• You will probably be able to discuss 1 or 2 topics in
the 30 minutes.
• Try to tightly moderate the discussion to get as much
ideas / outcomes as you can, and try to politely cut
off participants whom talk a lot with little content.
