Dr. Tom Degenhardt, OAC Medical Director and General Practitioner, Munich, Germany
In private I love being outdoors. As a passionate climber, skier, hiker, paraglider I know about the positive impact on my well-being during and after active time outdoors. Fresh air, good company and physical activity is my secret recipe for inner motivation and resilience.
As a Gynecologist and General Practitioner with a special interest in research and treatment of cancer I am always trying to help patients to improve their quality of life and outcome. Sport is the best evidence based and highly effective supportive therapy without any negative side effects therefore my goal is to motivate all patients to be active. OAC is a great opportunity for patients to meet, exchange and improve their health status and fitness level in a friendly but professional environment.
The combination of profession, personal interest and high efficacy of physical activity is the basis for my commitment to OAC." Tom Degenhardt
