The Gesellschaft für Medizinische Ausbildung (GMA) will celebrate its 40th anniversary this year. On April 22, 1978, at the initiative of the then AMEE president, Prof. Wolter, the Gesellschaft für Medizinische Ausbildung was founded as the German section of the Association for Medical Education in Europe (AMEE). Prof. Hans-Joachim Krämer, at the time IMPP president and Prof. Helmut Valentin, president of the Medizinischer Fakultätentag (MFT), belonged to the founding members of our association in that they recognized the need to combine German research and development for the purpose of medical education. Long-standing MFT president, Prof. Fritz Kemper later served on the GMA executive board, followed by Prof. Jörg-Dietrich Hoppe in 1982, chairman of the Marburger Bund and later president of the German Medical Association (Bundesärztekammer). Prof. Dietrich Habeck (Münster), who served as GMA president from 1981 to 1994, continued the close collaboration between GMA and MFT. Six years after its founding GMA established it own academic journal entitled Medizinische Ausbildung. The journal was initially self-published under the editorship of Prof. Habeck with support from the Hans Neuffer Foundation. At the end of the 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s and at the prompting of the Robert Bosch Foundation, GMA members participated in the Murrhardter Circle which was tasked with defining the future profile of the medical profession and proposing suggestions for reforming university medical education, as had already been called for in 1986 by the Bundesrat. After the retirement of Prof. Habeck, Prof. Florian Eitel (Munich) was elected as the new GMA president at the members’ meeting in 1995. Prof. Habeck continued to head the editorial board of Medizinische Ausbildung and was appointed honorary president of the GMA in 1997. From 1998 to 2004 Medizinische Ausbildung was housed at the publisher Thieme Verlag Stuttgart. During this time Prof. Eitel also assumed the editorship. Even though the basic reforms to medical education did not take place at first, one major demand of the Murrhardter Circle was implemented in 1999: the “experimentation clause” (Experimentierklausel) was adopted in the 8th amendment to the German medical licensure act (Approbationsordnung) and for the first time model curricula were possible, such as the ones at Berlin’s Charité and the University of Witten-Herdecke. In 2003 Prof. Eckhard Hahn was elected as the new president of GMA which grew substantially, more than doubling its members under his leadership. During this time the journal underwent modernization and has since been published by German Medical Science (GMS), an online platform belonging to DIMDI and ZBMed. As a
