Sana Klinikum Hameln-Pyrmont Cooperates with UMCH – University of Medicine Hamburg

Hameln. Sana Klinikum Hameln-Pyrmont has become a new academic teaching hospital of UMCH – University of Medicine Hamburg. With this cooperation, the hospital is taking another innovative step in attracting highly qualified young professionals: Students from the Hamburg campus can now complete their clinical training phases in Hameln.

“This cooperation allows us to integrate excellently trained students into our clinical workflows at an early stage,” says Managing Director Matthias Dürkop. Furthermore, the hospital now has another opportunity to train highly qualified future physicians in a practical setting and potentially recruit them. “Thanks to the continuing education authorizations granted to us, we are also able to train future specialists in all our departments. We actively participate in scientific studies and in the development of new treatment methods.”

UMCH students will find a broad range of specialties and disciplines at Sana Klinikum Hameln-Pyrmont where they can complete their clinical-practical training starting in their third year of study.

With 401 inpatient beds, Sana Klinikum Hameln-Pyrmont is one of the largest acute care hospitals in Lower Saxony. As a specialized care facility, the hospital treats around 23,000 inpatients and 43,000 outpatients annually in its 14 departments.

Advanced medical technology and highly qualified staff ensure that comprehensive medical care is available to the residents of the Hameln-Pyrmont district. The clinics, institutes, and affiliated departments of the hospital offer a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in their respective fields, while interdisciplinary collaboration is strongly emphasized. The hallmark of the hospital’s medical units is a high level of expertise and strong commitment – also in nursing, physiotherapy, and discharge management, which complete the comprehensive service portfolio of Sana Klinikum Hameln-Pyrmont.

The Hamburg Campus of the University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Sciences, and Technology Neumarkt a. M. is the German branch of this state university. The campus enables students to pursue a high-quality medical degree in English – without a numerus clausus, without waiting periods, and without having to move abroad. Located in Hamburg-Bahrenfeld, the campus offers 220 study places.

The medical faculty provides students with access to state-of-the-art medical technology and cooperates with numerous teaching hospitals and teaching practices across Germany. With a constantly growing network of teaching practices, UMCH is a pioneer in view of the politically driven shift toward increasing outpatient care in the healthcare system.
