WHO Collaborating Centre for Evidence-based Medicine

Preventive and Regenerative Medicine

From a societal point of view, prevention is an important goal regarding an aging society. However, wherever prevention is not possible, "regenerate instead of repair" becomes the guiding principle giving medical science an essential direction in its development. Research at the University for Continuing Education Krems spans the spectrum from the physical to the psychological, from osteoarthritis to the after-effects of stroke.

Evidence-based Health Services Research

The Centre for Evidence-Based Health Services Research examines how inpatient healthcare is organised and delivered and develops practical improvement proposals.

Evaluation

The Centre for Evaluation supports decision-makers in identifying and developing the most effective health-promoting and preventive measures, thus enabling evidence-based decisions in prevention and health promotion.

These individuals should be capable of making a significant contribution to establishing sustainable, favorable conditions for long, self-determined, and healthy lives for all community members. This course is only offered in the German language.
