CIY at UKD
You could already become familiar with the University Hospital Düsseldorf (UKD) and many of the doctors working there during the first five years of your studies. We would be pleased if you would also like to spend your clinical internship year or individual tertials here!
The clinical-practical training at the UKD is structured in a competence-oriented way. During your time on the wards and outpatient clinics of the various institutes and clinics, you will be prepared for the medical profession as future physicians under the guidance, supervision and responsibility of experienced future colleagues, and will be able to consolidate and deepen the skills, abilities and attitudes you have acquired so far during your studies.
With its high standard of patient care and modern diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, the UKD offers you the opportunity to gain insights into the maximum care of patients and also to learn about the diagnosis and therapy of rare diseases. The UKD stands for the unity of patient care, teaching and research. As a clinical internship year student, you can get to know this triad at first hand in your daily work.
The UKD offers you a varied and specialized range of courses in the (compulsory) tertials of surgery and internal medicine as well as in the elective subject.
The place booking takes place exclusively via the PJ-Portal.
Subject-specific application procedure for the following electives at the UKD:
- General Medicine
- Anesthesiology
- Medical microbiology, virology and hospital hygiene
- (clinical) pharmacology
- Radiology
- (clinical) forensic medicine
If you are interested in one of the above-mentioned elective subjects and apply for a place, please select the subject in parallel in the PJ portal for the corresponding tertial and apply for a hardship case there. If you are allocated a place by the institute or clinic on the basis of your application, your hardship application will be confirmed in the PJ portal by the staff from the study organization department (Q3/M3). You are then guaranteed a place in this elective in the corresponding tertial. The places in the (compulsory) subjects Surgery and Internal Medicine will be taken by you like all other students within the general online application procedure. If you do not receive a place in the subject-specific application and selection procedures, you will be informed of this by the subjects in good time so that you can look for alternatives for the elective subject before the start of the general online allocation procedure and select this in the further course of the allocation of places. Students in special circumstances who wish to take advantage of preferential allocation of places in the online allocation must also participate in the application and selection procedures of the following subjects in order to obtain a PJ place there.

The faculty is constantly working to develop, improve and optimize teaching in the clinical internship year for you. One example of this is the pilot project "Entrustable Professional Activities", which uses observable performance levels to decide which activities can be entrusted to:the clinical internship year student under which conditions. You can also participate directly in teaching and, for example, act as a tutor:in for 3rd year students. In this way, you not only train and expand your teaching skills, but also support fellow students in their training.
A special feature of the clinical internship year at the UKD are also the ethics seminars, which the Catholic university community and the Catholic hospital chaplaincy regularly offer in cooperation with the Dean of Studies.
