Theory and practice hand in hand
A central strength of UMFST-UMCH is its collaboration with over 30 teaching hospitals across Germany. These partnerships enable a balanced combination of theoretical instruction on the Hamburg campus and practical training phases.
From the third year onwards, students spend 4 to 16 weeks per year in certified teaching hospitals, where they can immediately apply their theoretical training to clinical practice. This intensive integration into clinical routines provides students with valuable experience. Teaching practices also impart knowledge in practice management and introduce students to outpatient care professions, such as general medicine, ophthalmology and dermatology.
