UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL MAGDEBURG

The University of Magdeburg honors its brightest minds every year. At the end of 2022, Marie Wölfer, MD, was awarded the PhD Prize of the Medical Faculty of Magdeburg for her doctoral thesis on the study of the effect of ketamine as an antidepressant.

Prof. Felix Walcher is the new president of the German Interdisciplinary Association for Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine (DIVI). For the next two years, the director of the University Hospital for Trauma Surgery Magdeburg will lead the professional association. Resilience of staff in intensive and emergency medicine is a key topic for the trauma surgeon. Likewise, his field of work is registry and care research in emergency medicine with expansion of the AKTIN emergency admission registry in Germany.

Even though the demanding medical studies impose a tight schedule, most students still find time to party. On the medical campus of the University of Magdeburg, the student club Kiste e.V. is known for its legendary party culture. But what many people don't know is that, in addition to parties and the like, the club offers many other activities and events with the help of student involvement.
