CLINICAL ROTATIONS
Our degree programmes focus on giving students hands-on clinical experience from the start. EDU students benefit from supervised, high-quality patient-oriented clinical experiences at our partner teaching hospitals. Here, students will engage with experts in their field and continuously receive constructive feedback through work-place based assessments, complementing online teaching with hands-on professional experience.
EDU students gain their first clinical experience early on, starting from Week 10 in the Bachelor programme. With 4 weeks of clinical rotation in every module, EDU medical students spend 3 months per year in a teaching hospital throughout their studies over the course of 5 years. Moreover, the Master programme concludes with a Clinical Clerkship of 6 months.
To provide excellent clinical training, EDU partners with Helios Kliniken, Marienhaus-Gruppe and other partner hospitals. Read more about our teaching hospitals here.
