Internships and Medical Trainings

University of Leipzig Medical Center offers courses for doctors wishing to qualify as specialists. They select an area of specialism and are then generally assigned a senior physician or specialist as their tutor, who supervises them throughout their entire course of training. The tutor will provide the student with feedback at least twice a year and discuss their personal development with them, and how it should continue in the future. A rotation plan ensures that they gain experience in all the areas required for their training as a medical specialist.

Additional information is available on the German website of the UKL.

The clinical traineeship is a two to three-month unpaid internship, which includes contact with patients (no remuneration paid). If you wish to complete a clinical traineeship with us, you must be matriculated as a medical student and have a good knowledge of German (Level C1).

You must make your own travel arrangements. You will require a health insurance policy which is valid in Germany for the entire period of your stay. We also recommend that you take out personal liability insurance.
