The learning objectives characterize in detail the respective growth in knowledge, skills, and attitudes that you will acquire on your way to becoming a physician.
Second Year of Study
In the second year of study, the focus is also on teaching the fundamentals of human biology. For this purpose, four modules lasting about six to eight weeks are offered, which are predominantly organ- or system-related. In addition, with the active support of clinicians, you will be presented with selected clinical aspects (e.g. clinical pictures), which will be linked to the necessary basic scientific knowledge. In this way, scientificity and practical relevance are combined, which prepares you at a high level for a medical career already in the first years of study.
At the end of each subject and study block, there is an interdisciplinary final examination, via which you acquire, together with the other block final examinations up to the end of Q1, all the performance certificates provided for in the Medical Licensing Regulations for the first two years of study and some of the later years of study.
