Description

Gregor Massoth and colleagues describe a 2026 project report from University Hospital Bonn on joint training for final-year medical students alongside anaesthesia assistant trainees. The IPAPA program teaches both groups together, using practice runs of anaesthesia induction, because teamwork in that moment guards patient safety.

Design followed a six-step curriculum method and drew goals from national rulebooks for both professions, shaped around the TeamSTEPPS teamwork system. The finished course holds eight teaching units and now runs as a required part of both training paths. Early feedback praised the hands-on practice and clear team talk, and learners said working side by side felt true to real care. The report gives other schools a working model to copy.
