International short courses on different scientific topics take place regularly at the Medical University of Graz and provide our international guests with an excellent opportunity for networking with Med Uni Graz experts and colleagues from around the world.
Three short courses are currently offered:
Students from abroad who are interested in a clinical rotation in the field of pediatric medicine have the opportunity to complete one of two educational courses in pediatric medicine at Med Uni Graz. The four-week courses are offered in English every February and July.
These courses are designed for medical students from abroad at different stages in their education. The goal is to facilitate a discussion between younger and more experienced participants.
Each course lasts four weeks and is a mixture of a clinical rotation with bedside instruction and lectures in English.
Sufficient knowledge of English is required for participation in an educational course in pediatric medicine. The afternoon lectures and case discussions are conducted in English. Communication within the department (between hospital staff and with patients) is in German. Supervisors translate the most important content into English. German skills are recommended but not required.
You can find the program for July 2024 here.
