To be prepared for the challenges of modern medicine, future physicians need a visionary mindset. The aim of this study is to determine the need for teaching such content among medical students in the context of visionary elective curricula and to examine these with regard to the desired topics and organizational structure.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study with 236 medical students from all semesters of the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich. The survey consists of 50 questions and includes single choice, multiple choice, matrix questions, open-ended questions and Likert scales. Responses were examined using descriptive statistics and compared parametrically in sub-aspects.Results: Three-quarters of respondents would like to see curricular content on interdisciplinary interfaces with other disciplines. A suitable framework for this is seen by 87% of the respondents in a visionary elective curriculum. Students would like to see a broad range of specific content such as global health, politics, business, and computer science. The majority of respondents would like to see 1 unit of instruction per week and would participate in an appropriate program. Such an offering would promote creative (53.6%), critical (63.7%), and interdisciplinary thinking (69.0%) and train to become better physicians (87%).Conclusion: Participants in this study are positive toward the introduction of visionary content in medical school. Faculties should build visionary elective curricula according to the graduate profile requirements of the new NKLM 2.0 to make medical education sustainable.Rohr, Sven OlafGerhard, AmeliSchmidt, FelicitasEder, JuliaSalvermoser, LukasDimitriadis, KonstantinosFischer, Martin R.German Medical Science GMS Publishing Housearticlemedical educationinterdisciplinary studiesself-directed learningcreativityvisionary medicinemedical humanitiesSpecial aspects of educationLC8-6691MedicineRDEENGMS Journal for Medical Education, Vol 38, Iss 7, p Doc119 (2021)
