What you will study

Teaching runs in modules across five seven-week blocks (quintiles) per year, with longitudinal modules including Propaedeutics, Diagnostic Methods, Internal Medicine, a Science Module and Pain Medicine. Practical skills are trained in the Skills Lab. The first two years are equivalent to the first state examination (M1); the second state examination (M2) closes the five years and the third (M3) follows the practical year. A structured doctoral programme with a twelve-month doctoral project is offered.
