Dear everyone,
Right at the end of 2025, we received three good news: Nina Langeland/Sabrina Moyo were awarded a Horizon Europe EDCTP3 project, Kristin Aakre was awarded funding from the Research Council of Norway, and Luiza Ghila was awarded funding from the Norwegian Cancer Society. Congratulations! Thus, 2025 has been a very successful year for K2 with several NFR and EU allocations. We are approaching the average of 25% BOA to basic funding (set by the faculty board) and will continue to work with this also in 2026. I really appreciate all the application writing and hope that we will continue with this in the years to come. It will be exciting to see if any of our 5 (!) Center of Excellence (SFF) applications proceed to round 2 😊

Congratulations also to Charalampos (Haris) Tzoulis and Jutta Dierkes from K1 who have received an SFI! Here there will be a lot of activities that perhaps some environments from K2 can benefit from. I take this opportunity to remind you that this was one of the pieces of advice in the EVALMEDHEALTH report: explore options with partners and sponsors from the industry.

Preparations for the Multi-Campus Model are in full swing, many of us spend a lot of time planning and coordinating how teaching will be done across campuses. Subject coordinators and academic resource persons in internal medicine and surgery from all campuses will gather in Bergen on 21 January 2026 (registration deadline 10 January) to discuss how the subjects can be distributed in a sensible way between the different semesters, I greatly appreciate all contributions! It is important that we find a good and sustainable way to educate future medical doctors.

I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!

Leader of the week - Silke Appel

Dear everyone,
Thank you very much to everyone who contributed to yet another well-executed OSKE12 yesterday!
Yesterday, I was reminded again of how important a good flow of information is. From 1 August 2024, the new Universities and University Colleges Act came into force, and this has led to several changes for us – including in terms of censorship
What's new?
• Written exams under 15 credits: One internal examiner is sufficient.
• Written exams of 15 credits or more, as well as oral exams: Two internal examiners are required.
External examiners are no longer mandatory in these cases.
I have participated in many forums where this was discussed, and thought the information was well known. It turns out that many people had not been informed about these changes, and I apologize for the frustration this created yesterday for MED9.
Given the financial situation at K2, we must reduce the use of external teachers and examiners as far as possible. Where external sensors are not needed, we need to look at solutions with two internal sensors. I know this will involve more work for some, but we will find good solutions that take care of both examiners and students.
Have a really good weekend and a nice 2nd advent!
Silke

Leader of the week - Camilla Tøndel

Dear everyone,

A few weeks ago, the first cohort of medical students from Vestland who will spend the last three years of their studies in Førde went on an exciting and eventful study trip to Campus Førde. Preparations are in full swing with the establishment of a new study model in the form of a joint multi-campus model for the medical study here in the west. Feedback has been received on the draft of the new study plan that was sent out for consultation earlier this fall, and an adjusted plan with main lines has recently been adopted by the Program Committee in Medicine.

Internal medicine and surgical clinical practice will, in the multi-campus model, take place in the 7th semester instead of the 8th semester as in the 2015 model, while psychiatric practice and teaching will be in the 10th semester instead of the 7th semester. Adjustments are being made in the first three common Bergen years, and in the last three years, where students are distributed across Stavanger, Førde, Haugesund and Bergen, all will have common learning objectives and common exams. Working in cross-disciplinary groups with representatives from all four campuses will be central going forward to decide what should be taught, when, and how, to develop more detailed descriptions of learning outcomes and pedagogical interactive approaches for the best possible formation of good doctors for the healthcare of the future.

Thank you so much for all your hard work on this, OSKE, and everything else!

Have a really good weekend!

Camilla
