His responsibility is the curriculum and study program development. Also, since 2017 he serves as Chair to the Deans of Studies at the TUM Extended Board of Management.
Berberat is active in two research areas: In the field of instruction and teacher research his focus lies on a better understanding of teaching and learning processes in order to optimize evidence-based didactic methods and to systematically analyze the attitude, motivation and behavior of medical doctors as lecturers and tutors. His second research area concentrates on medical educational biographies with the main focus on professional identity-formation and dealing with existential borderline experiences (such as suffering, dying and death) in daily clinical practice.
