PROMs

DKPM AG Klinische Psychodiagnostik und Psychometrie

I’m the new lead for the Working Group Klinische Psychodiagnostik und Psychometrie within the Deutsches Kollegium für Psychosomatische Medizin (DKPM). We usually have 2 meetings, one at the annual conference and a virtual one in autumn, where we discuss developments and issues around standardized diagnostics in psychosomatic research and clinical practice.

Presentation: DKG 2022

Last week I held a short presentation on PROs and PROMs at the German Cancer Congress. Find my slides below (in German)!

Visiting Prague

Both this years ISOQOL and PHO happened to be in Prague. It was so nice to meet all the people again - both conferences were virtual only in the past 2 years.
