Training station

Mannheim interprofessional trainingward - MIA
The UMM offers its trainees in medicine, nursing and physiotherapy a special novelty: the Mannheim Interprofessional Training Ward (MIA). This is a conservative training ward with 12 beds, integrated into a gastroenterology/visceral surgery ward. The training ward is independent and is managed separately in organizational terms. The trainees are responsible for the independent organization of work processes and patient nursing under supervision. The MIA is assigned to the conservative department and therefore offers a predominantly internal treatment spectrum. Here, prospective nurses, physiotherapists and doctors learn how to care for patients optimally and in close cooperation with each other, how to plan and carry out treatments and nursing, and how to combine medical theory and practice in the best possible way. Throughout the course of the day, the students are accompanied and supervised by central practical instructors in nursing and learning guides in physiotherapy and medicine. Learning content includes the implementation of special medical nutrition concepts, nursing for chronic inflammatory bowel disease, nursing for parenteral nutrition, the implementation and realization of the expert standard for pain therapy and the application of various nursing concepts such as kinaesthetics, basal stimulation and reference nursing.
