Workflow for the preparation of one ICCD session. Three parties are involved in the preparation and implementation of an ICCD session: an administrative unit consisting of the organizing undergraduate students (*) and the TUM Medical Education Center (†) (bottom row), tutors (middle row) and clinical supervisors (top row). Their respective tasks are indicated at the relative time points for the preparation of one ICCD. The allotted time frame for each task per one ICCD session is included in round brackets. For their first meeting tutors and supervisors are provided with a checklist (‡), i.e. to i) define content-focal points, ii) select an appropriate clinical case iii) define a clinical skill essential for the successful completion of the case, and to iv) provide the tutor with important clinical findings (e.g. laboratory findings, images)
