The specialist field of "pneumology" is still underrepresented in university clinics in Germany, but this is not the case at the newly founded medical faculty Ostwestfalen-Lippe (OWL) in Bielefeld. This is linked to representing pneumology and internal intensive care medicine in patient care, teaching and research across the board and the opportunity to actively help shape the development of the human medicine faculty in an exciting environment.The early anchoring of the subject "Pneumology" in the model degree program of medical school in OWL (begin winter semester 2021/22) contributes to further visibility and a university medical orientation. In this overview various issues of Pneumology in the Model Degree Program are explored by basic scientists, clinical teachers, members of the medical faculty and a student.In today's Evangelisches Klinikum Bethel (EvKB), pulmonary medicine has a long tradition. The hospital's first lung and infection center was opened in 1927. The EvKB's department for internal medicine, pneumology and intensive care medicine, which has been independent since 2009, is becoming a university clinic for pneumology within the medical faculty OWL. Relevant translational and interdisciplinary research can be intensified.There are 30 "Pneumology" teaching units in the model degree program, which are divided into two study sections using different formats, such as lectures, seminars, hands on courses and skills lab. It is represented in particular in the module complex "Circulation and Respiration". The content of the first phase of teaching was carried out by a module commission, with members representing the subjects involved in the module.Knowledge of the basics from, for example, physiology, pathophysiology, anatomy and pathology are taught to the students in the run-up to the pneumology course. Using the example of physiology, the presentation of the learning content of a basic subject is elaborated in this article.Half of all teaching units on pneumology of the entire course took place in the 2nd semester (in March and April 2022), so that students experienced the clinical relevance of the content at an early stage. There was a particular focus on obstructive airway and restrictive lung diseases. After imparting the basic knowledge of the physical examination of the lungs in the Skills Lab, the most important pathological findings in the above-mentioned diseases on inspection, palpation, auscultation and percussion are demonstrated and practised in patients as part of bedside teaching under supervision.Communication training is also longitudinally integrated into the modular teaching, with a total of more than 200 teaching hours and is performed interdisciplinary. In the "Circulation and Breathing" module eight hours are devoted to this with simulated patients, the anamnesis and therapy advice on classic cardiopulmonary diseases. For the students, integrating the teaching of basic theory and its clinical application for each organ systems represents a challenge in the model degree program, the advantages outweigh from today's perspective.
