Ordensklinikum Linz Barmherzige Schwestern

What Ordensklinikum Linz Barmherzige Schwestern does

Ordensklinikum Linz Barmherzige Schwestern operates Gyn-Chir.at, a continuing-medical-education (CME) program in gynecological surgery delivered through the Karl Landsteiner Institut für gynäkologische Chirurgie und Onkologie based in Linz, Upper Austria. The program targets practicing gynecologists and medical professionals who face restricted time for training due to working-hours regulations, economic pressures, and rising quality demands; it explicitly addresses the failure of traditional "see one – do one – teach one" methods to produce systematic learning curves.

The core offering is the Gynäkologisch-chirurgisches Curriculum, a structured training program developed in alignment with American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy (ESGE), and AGE guidelines. The curriculum comprises five course modules — laparoscopy (delivered via mic-training.at with certification), open surgery (via bs-gyn.at), conization with colposcopy diploma (via dysplasietage.at), vaginal operative techniques, and an obstetric hands-on workshop (DFP number 668673, 10 CME points). Delivery is blended: theoretical lectures are consumed online at home before the event, and participants complete condensed hands-on workshops on-site at variable times during the conference.

The business is led by Prim. Univ.-Prof. Dr. Lukas Hefler, MBA and Alexander Reinthaller, operating from Schultestraße 1, 4020 Linz. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, enrollment figures are not reported, and no funding, revenue, or headcount data specific to the training program is available. Distribution relies on regional (Upper Austria) in-person hands-on workshops supplemented by internet-based theory, with module-level partnerships providing specialty delivery channels; there is no evidence of geographic expansion beyond Upper Austria or of any technology platform underlying the program beyond a basic content website.
