Since 2013, the Deutsche Chirurgiestiftung has been supporting the development of a new training concept for visceral and thoracic surgery through surgical training on body donors. Trial courses were held at the Anatomical Institute of Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf and at the Anatomical Institute of Semmelweis University in Hungary. In this context, the Deutsche Chirurgiestiftung commissioned MIB GmbH to conduct an anatomical-surgical internship at the Semmelweis University in Budapest, which took place from 31 October to 3 November 2013. The training concept was adopted by the Berufsverband Deutscher Chirurgen (German Doctors' Association) in 2014 as part of its training and continuing education programme.
