Basic information on the development and status of DTMD, Location and branch of Trakia University Stara Zagora in Luxembourg
The Trakia University in Stara Zagora, which is state-recognized in Bulgaria, has fully incorporated the DTMD as a subdivision as of 3 April 2024. The DTMD is therefore a Luxembourg location (branch) of the Bulgarian Trakia University, whose national legislation it follows. The programs are accredited both in Bulgaria and by the German AHPGS Freiburg i.Br., i.e. not in the Grand Duchy. Originally, Trakia University issues all diplomas and titles of the DTMD, which are therefore not Luxembourgish diplomas or titles. The DTMD works for Trakia University in Luxembourg in the field of continuing education (advanced training) for medical professions and related professions, which was initiated by the Bruges-Copenhagen process.
About the DTMD
The DTMD ("Digital Technologies in Medicine and Dentistry") is a private institute under Luxembourg law based in Wiltz Castle. It is operated and coordinated by a private Luxembourgish sponsor. In addition, the DTMD is DIN/ISO-certified and state-recognized as an "Organisme de formation professionelle". Its teaching and research activities are also accredited throughout Europe.
Network of the DTMD
The highly qualified lecturers of the DTMD come fromEuropean universities, university hospitals, scientific institutes, academic teaching practices and international specialist societies.
The goal
The goal of the DTMD is to offer in-service postgraduate training programs in medicine and dentistry as well as special training and continuing education certificates for all accompanying medical professions. Students are also directly involved in the institute's research work. This takes the form of empirical and clinical term papers, Master's theses and doctoral dissertations.
Commitments to the students
The DTMD is committed to strict transparency. It is guided by the transparency and permeability requirements of the Bruges/Copenhagen Process (Lisbon Convention) of the EU Commission for levels 6 (Bachelor), 7 (Master) and 8 (Doctorate) of the European Qualifications Framework.
DTMD Management
The DTMD is managed by a board of directors of the owners, Prof. Reuter (President) and Prof. Rössler (Faculty Director). Reuter is responsible for strategy and administration. Rössler is responsible for teaching and research.
Trakia University
The "Institute for Digital Technologies in Medicine and Dentistry", or "DTMD" for short, became part of Trakia University in Stara Zagora (Bulgaria) under its aforementioned full name on April 3, 2024. Trakia University is a fully state-run university with a medical focus. The decision to incorporate the DTMD into Trakia University means that Trakia University operates the DTMD as a Luxembourg location (branch office) and issues all degrees and titles originally. The Bulgarian town of Stara Zagora will also be home to institutes affiliated with the DTMD. Independently of this, the DTMD will also become a branch of other internationally recognized universities in the future. The DTMD ensures that these universities are fully classified in "anabin" under category H+ in accordance with the German Conference of Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs (KMK lists). All information and regulations published on the DTMD website and communicated externally are written and interpreted in accordance with these principles.
