I. Studying in Switzerland as a medical major
Introduction to studying in Sweden, I hope it will help you! There are two types of medical schools in Sweden:
One is a medical college affiliated to a comprehensive university, and the other is a specialized medical university. Let's introduce the characteristics and application conditions of these two types of medical schools to you!
1. Medical colleges under comprehensive universities. The medical college of a comprehensive university is one of the oldest medical education institutions in Sweden. It was founded in18th century, and its history can be traced back to the Royal Uppsala College established in 1666. Gothenburg University was founded in 1900, and Stockholm University was founded in 1909. The medical school of this university was established in 1900, and was awarded a doctorate in 1920. The school has four affiliated hospitals and a research institute (including a cancer center), which recruits a large number of doctoral and master students for study and research every year. The doctoral program in our college lasts for two and a half to three years, and the postgraduate program usually lasts for one and a half to one year. In addition, there are one-year internship courses and two-year clinical internship courses for medical students to choose for further study; At the same time, the school also has a variety of short-term training courses for students to choose to participate in training and study in order to obtain relevant certificates or degrees and other honorary qualification documents.
2. Specialized medical universities. The characteristic of such schools is to train only clinical medical graduates, whose employment scope is relatively narrow. Among many professional medical universities, only two universities have their own hospitals-karolinska institutet and Lund University Health Service Center. Both hospitals are relatively large in scale and well-equipped, which can provide good learning and practice environment for students. In addition, it is worth mentioning that the international exchange programs of these two schools are very rich and comprehensive, with high standards and quality assurance systems.
