SummaryThis article describes current and future tendencies in the development of curriculum planning for health care professions in Germany, using the example of midwifery education. In particular, it discusses ‘output-based control’ of curriculum planning giving consideration to issues related to German education, health policies and professional educational theories with a view to the general international development. The results of this analysis constitute the starting point for the conceptual planning of a dissertation at the medical faculty of the Berlin Charité with the goal of developing a competency model for the curriculum planning of midwifery education, thus creating a modern curriculum as a basis for a fundamental reform of German midwifery education.
