The International Postgraduate Medical Training (IPMT) was initiated in 2001 by the Medical Section at the Goetheanum. It is offered as a series of international annual course weeks which for a licensed doctor can lead to certification as a Doctor of Anthroposophic Medicine after five years.

The three-year Teach The Teacher (TTT) further training programme is aimed at all professionals working in the anthroposophical medical field who wish to learn how to teach anthroposophical medicine, nursing or therapy in training and further training.

This series of modules offers newcomers to teaching as well as experienced trainers the opportunity to learn with and from each other. 

The Teach The Teacher course, which is held as an in-person event in Dornach (Switzerland), focuses on collaborative discussion and learning-by-doing. This includes exercises, work in small groups, movement, artistic work, dialogue walks and collaborative teaching practice. Each participant is actively involved and has time to practise and reflect on their own teaching methods.

We pursue the following goals in this further training programme: 

• The further development of own teaching skills
• Familiarisation with and implementation of new teaching techniques,
• Gaining confidence and flexibility and 
• The opportunity to support and strengthen each other within the community

The prerequisite for attendance is a successfully completed training in one of the health professions recognised by the Medical Section at the Goetheanum; professional experience in Anthroposophic Medicine; the corresponding teaching experience or the concrete intention to take up such teaching activity, including on a practical level in a hospital or practice or as a mentor.
