In Germany, medicine is not a familiar undergraduate-master-doctor system, but a university study course with a total accreditation time of 6 years and 3 months. The graduation certificate obtained after the end is not a general degree certificate or diploma, but an endorsement. The whole medical research is divided into:
1. Clinical preparation course -2 years
(vorklinischer Studienabschnitt)
The subjects of study are: basic medical disciplines and related basic natural sciences. There are biology, chemistry and physics in the first semester. Basic medical courses, such as anatomy, biochemistry-molecular biology and physiology, are offered in the second and third semesters. The third and fourth semesters provide comprehensive and instructive courses related to clinical practice.
After the first two years, you need to take the first national unified examination (erstes Staatsexamen), and you can continue your clinical study after passing it.
2. Clinical courses -3 years
(klinischer Studienabschnitt)
At this stage, clinical training of common diseases, medical clinical diagnosis and laboratory diagnosis, as well as specific branch training are carried out.
Among them, internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, and general internal medicine must undergo special and complete practice to deepen their practical ability and academic level before graduation.
After three years of clinical study, you need to pass the second national examination (zweites Staatsexamen) to continue your internship next year.
3. Clinical practice year-1 year
(praktisches Jahr)
The last academic year is the internship year, otherwise you can't graduate from the medical profession. The prerequisite for participating in the internship is that you can provide the necessary proof of academic performance. One year's internship is conducted in a university hospital or a teaching hospital of the Department of Medicine, or you can use a hospital recognized by foreign countries. It is divided into three stages, each stage 16 weeks.
4. Prepare for the third national examination for 3 months.
(drittes Staatsexamen)
After passing the third national examination (drittes Staatsexamen), you can get the qualification certificate of practicing doctor. It is worth mentioning that the qualification certificate of medical practitioners is one of the necessary conditions for engaging in clinical medical work in Germany, and the only way to obtain the qualification certificate is to take the third national examination.
You passed the third national examination and got the endorsement. In fact, you just became a general practitioner, and you don't have the knowledge and professional title of a specialist. Moreover, at this stage in Germany, you can't practice medicine without further training of specialists (Facharztausbildung).
Therefore, after medical graduation, your study career has not stopped, and the next specialized training will be conducted in the hospital. At the same time, you will work in the department where you want to do specialized courses as an Assistenzarzt to accumulate experience. The duration of specialist training is generally 5-7 years, during which I work as a doctor in a hospital and get paid. At the end of this period, you need to join Facharztprüfung before you can get the title of Facharzt.
Application method of German medical specialty
1. Apply through the university website.
This method is also called "unified recruitment". Students apply, schools or research institutes screen according to their needs, and then interview. It should be noted that the deadline of the project, everyone must complete the application before DDL.
2. Contact your interested project department.
This method is also called "direct contact". Through the usual understanding of the major, online or through the introduction of professors interested in the major, I sent a letter directly, expressing my interest in the research direction of the laboratory, hoping to enter the laboratory and study under the guidance of my tutor. There is no time limit for the application mode of "direct contact". Whether you can enter the laboratory depends mainly on the tutor.
These two methods have their own advantages. In the first method, tutors and students choose from each other. As tutors, students can get regular guidance and have the opportunity to attend academic conferences. Because the doctoral program is under the responsibility of the state or scientific research institutes, the funds are abundant and the scholarships are guaranteed.
The second advantage is that everyone has the right to apply for projects that they are really interested in, or to study with their favorite tutors. The right of independent choice is greater. Generally speaking, more students apply for German doctor of medicine, taking the road of "direct contact".
Well-known medical college in Germany
1. University of Heidelberg
In medicine, Heidelberg University, the oldest university in Germany, has more than 600 years of education and research history. Therefore, on the one hand, Heidelberg University has extremely high qualifications and experience, on the other hand, it also pays attention to the new medical trends in the 2 1 century and constantly accepts challenges.
Heidelberg University has always been time-oriented, adhering to the group teaching method, so that students can experience the treatment method personally. Innovative in-depth research is the engine of medical development and progress. The University of Heidelberg and its affiliated medical institutions and the Academy of Life Sciences have always maintained close cooperation with large international research institutions, such as the German Cancer Research Center, the Heidelberg Biochemistry Center, the Heidelberg Molecular Biology Center, the Max Planck Institute of Medicine and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory.
2. Free University of Berlin
The Free University of Berlin has the most important medical training center in Germany and works closely with Charité Center. Charlotte is by far the largest general hospital in Europe and one of the most traditional hospitals in Europe.
Although this name is not well known in China, it has a long-standing reputation in European Chariot Hospital for its excellent medical treatment, medical research and rigorous attitude. More than half of the Nobel Prize winners in medicine and physiology in Germany are from this medical center, which can be described as the Taishan Beidou in the medical field.
Chariots have trained generations of excellent doctors for Europe and the world. According to the specialty, it is divided into 17 centers, and further divided into 100 many specialties or research institutes. With an annual output value of about 65.438 billion euros and an average of 6,750 operations per month, it is the largest teaching and training institution in Berlin. This confirms the important position of the chariot center in Germany, Europe and the world.
3. University of Cologne
The Department of Medicine of the University of Cologne has more than 3,400 students, about 1 1,800 professional teachers and 50 different clinics, medical institutions and research and further education centers. Department of Therapeutic Education (Heilp? dagogische Fakult？ T) is the largest special treatment department in the world.
Since 2003, the University of Cologne has been providing practice-oriented human medicine, and dentists will be integrated in the near future. Therefore, students' medical knowledge and skills will be continuously trained in the professional skills laboratory (KISS) in Cologne before they really come into contact with patients.
The University of Cologne has been at the forefront in the research of tissue hormone homeostasis, metabolism and functional decline. The Molecular Medicine Center (ZMMK) of the university also maintains close cooperation with other interdisciplinary professional and scientific research institutions outside the university, such as the Department of Mathematics-Natural Sciences and the Max Planck Institute in Cologne.
4. Kiel University
In the field of medical research, Kiel University Hospital has a considerable influence on the development of pelvic examination equipment and surgery, as well as the development of minimally invasive surgery worldwide.
