Supervised Professional Training during Medical Studies

The professional study programme in Medicine offers supervised professional training in the form of placements, work at a department and attending courses as a guest student.

Supervised professional training during your studies gives you the necessary experience to meet every challenge you will encounter when working as a doctor.

Placement / supervised professional training

Students are placed at hospitals, other health care institutions or with practising doctors individually or in small groups. They receive teaching and supervision and/or work under the supervision/instruction of a doctor in charge.

Work in a department

Students have an agreed presence in a hospital department or outpatient clinic where they work with assigned tasks individually or in small groups (e.g. record writing, practical procedures, other work at the department) and/or have an opportunity to assist and observe doctors in their work.

Attending courses as a guest student

Student are allowed to voluntarily participate in an organized clinical activity as a spectator or assistant when it is their turn – for example ambulance ridealongs and ambulance services.

The different subjects in medical school explain more about where these forms of teaching take place.
