First graduate of the Study Programme ’Experimental Medicine’

Medical graduate Stefanie Bobe worked behind the microscope a lot during her studies in experimental medicine at the University of Münster. WWU/Michael Kuhlmann - Just in time for her third state examination in human medicine, Stefanie Bobe has completed in parallel her Master of Science in Experimental Medicine at the University of Münster. She is the first graduate of this programme, which introduces future physicians to experimental lab research as a complement to their clinical training. "I wanted to dive deeper into medicine," the 26-year-old says. In medical school, she adds, the focus is on how certain medical conditions manifest, how they affect people, and how one can help patients. "But I'm also fascinated asking about the underlying mechanisms that build the biomedical basis for improved diagnostic and therapeutic options," she explains. As a result of her studies, she says, she feels better equipped to ask even more questions and search for their answers using the appropriate methods.
