About the Elisabeth Hospital Essen

The Elisabeth Hospital Essen was founded as early as 1844 and, with its more than 175-year history, is the oldest hospital in the major city of North Rhine-Westphalia. As an acute care hospital, it employs around 1,300 staff and offers 513 beds. Since 2006, it has been part of the social, Catholic service and sponsoring company Contilia, which operates numerous other medical and care-related facilities in the region around Essen. In its self-image, the hospital sees itself as a link between medical-technical know-how and modern medical infrastructure. In addition to 13 specialist departments – for example in the fields of Diabetology, Vascular Surgery and Phlebology, as well as Kidney and High Pressure Diseases – the UMFST-UMCH Teaching Hospital also comprises seven centers. These include a Gynecologic Tumor Center, an Esophageal Disease Center and a Pediatric Neurologic Center. UMFST-UMCH students can thus expect a wide range of specialties and disciplines here for their clinical-practical training, which they complete starting in their 3rd year of study.
