Leisniger Clinic: New opportunity for medical students at the University of Leipzig!

The Helios Clinic in Leisnig is taking a big step to expand the offerings for aspiring doctors. What is new is that students at the University of Leipzig can now complete a semester in internal medicine as part of their practical year (PJ). This exciting cooperation is based on the Saxon University Act and aims to promote practical training in medicine. How Sächsische.de reports, students can now divide 48 weeks of their practical training into three tertials, each comprising 16 weeks in different specialist areas.

But what can future doctors expect in internal medicine? Here, the young doctors work intensively on health disorders and diseases of internal organs, such as respiratory and cardiovascular diseases as well as problems of the digestive system. According to information from Helios health The practical year is an excellent opportunity not only to deepen your knowledge, but also to gain initial experience in everyday clinical practice.

Surgery and more: A wide spectrum

Since April, students have had the opportunity to complete a semester in surgery and trauma surgery. The Leisniger Clinic and the Helios Park Clinic Leipzig rely on a close integration of theory and practice. As academic teaching hospitals of the University of Leipzig, they are designed to provide medical students with a wide range of insights into the reality of patient care - a fact that significantly enriches the training.

The Helios Clinic offers attractive conditions for students who are interested in an internship: In addition to dedicated supervisors, there is an expense allowance of 100 euros gross per month. In addition, accommodation and meals are provided, where available, and there is free access to the Helios Academy's digital offerings. A simple application process makes entry into medical training even more attractive.

A look outside the box

There are over 600 academic teaching hospitals in Germany that are part of medical studies and offer a wide range of practical training opportunities. Students must complete their practical year at a university hospital or a teaching hospital at their university, which is also relevant for the University of Leipzig. Wikipedia's list of academic teaching hospitals shows that institutions such as the University Hospital of Bonn or the University Hospital of Düsseldorf are important players in training and make a valuable contribution to medical education.

In summary, it can be said that the Helios Clinic in Leisnig makes a valuable contribution to the training of future doctors through this partnership and is therefore of great benefit to both students and patients.
