Content and structure of the program

The course is based on the licensing regulations for doctors and is divided into three sections: In the first (pre-clinical) stage, students learn the basics of natural sciences and medicine. It lasts 4 semesters and concludes with the first section of the medical examination (Physikum). Admission requirements also include training in first aid and a three-month nursing internship. The second (clinical) study phase comprises 6 semesters (including four-month clinical traineeships) and concludes with the second section of the medical examination. The practical year is the final year of study. It covers the specialties of surgery, internal medicine and general medicine or a clinical-practical elective subject. Medical studies are completed after 6 years and 3 months by passing the third section of the medical examination.

Prospects

After successfully completing a degree in medicine, students usually go on to train as medical specialists. In any case, graduates have a wide range of opportunities to pursue their careers in their own practice or as employees, e.g. in clinics run by various organizations, in the public health service, in the supply, works or Medical Officer service, at universities and research institutions. Two career paths are presented in more detail in the following alumni portraits.

As medical students, Marie Downar and Oxana Atmann were already questioning the status quo and daring to try something new. Together with the nationwide non-profit association "Medicine and Humanity", they organized the "Future: Medicine" symposium in Dresden. to the alumni portrait

Until secondary school, Katrin Metzler wanted to become a vet. Then her interest switched to human medicine. But before the now 32-year-old could become a doctor, she trained as a nurse. Today, she is one of the few female forensic pathologists in Germany. to the alumni portrait
