With its ULI@Land initiative, the Ulm Medical Faculty aims to make a substantial contribution to ensuring healthcare provision in rural regions. Tailor-made programmes are designed to prepare future doctors for this task under the leadership of the Institute of General Practice.

Primary healthcare is provided on a multi-professional basis and in a network. (General) practitioners often play a key role in coordinating the provision of services by the healthcare professionals and facilities involved. In addition to the healthcare of individuals, the population focus (public health perspective) plays a key role in providing easily accessible, affordable, continuous and person-centred medical care.

From the beginning of the degree programme through to specialist training, we provide target group-specific support and, in cooperation with stakeholders in rural regions, take on the challenge of developing and testing future-oriented forms of care (including interprofessional cooperation and task sharing, networking, telemedicine applications). We support training longitudinally through mentoring and the establishment of networks that help students and doctors in further training to find their place in the region.
