The members of the German Society for Internal Medicine (DGIM) are very satisfied with the offerings of their specialist society. This is the result of an online survey by the DGIM this spring on the topic of e-learning and other relevant tasks of the specialist society. Above all, the DGIM expects this to provide added value for the participants themselves: it will use the numerous feedback to further improve its services for its members.

A total of 3,121 answers to the 42 questions from the DGIM paint a clear picture: The specialist society stands for high-quality services with its offers and products. “The participants’ answers confirm that the DGIM is of high quality,” says Professor Ulrich R. Fölsch, Secretary General of the DGIM from Kiel. This particularly affects the focus of the survey, e-learning. When asked: “Would you prefer an online training offer from DGIM over another provider on the market?” 76.6 percent answered “yes”. They justified this primarily by saying that the DGIM stands for quality and high training standards. A rather non-transparent market is also an important argument here.

“At the DGIM, on the other hand, doctors obviously rely on the fact that they are also offered the usual expertise when it comes to e-learning,” says Professor Fölsch. The answers show that the DGIM is on the right track with the planned e-learning platform: Almost 90 percent of those surveyed would use the DGIM's certified online training.
