dc.description	Background: During the preclinical period German medical students have little or no opportunities to make experiences in the operating theatre (OT); later these experiences are often provided in an unstructured way.Purpose: The course "OT visit for preclinical students" is planned to improve vertical integration within a structured learning environment. We checked the project for feasibility, acceptance and flaws.Method: The course consists of 3 parts: 1. Pre-course assignments. 2. The OT visit. 3. A short reflection and feedback.Results: 36 preclinical students participated in the course, we received oral feedback from all students and 24 written evaluation forms. Overall acceptance both by teachers and students was good or very good. We found the course to be feasible both for teachers and students. Some students found the pre-course assignments only "satisfactory" and some found the demands "slightly excessive".Conclusion: In terms of acceptance and feasibility, we should implement the course into our regular curriculum. We have to improve our pre-course assignments and offer some help for handling the huge amount of new impressions in the OT. We should look for a way to offer structured OT visits for a higher number of students.
