Medical Internship at TUM

Internships in one of our departments within the ERASMUS program are possible, provided that:
 
1.  your internship is scheduled for at least 2 months,
2.  the department accepts you,
3.  you have a good command of the German language (at least B1- proof has to be sent!!!), since classes and seminars at TUM’s medical school are exclusively held in German;  moreover you cannot expect patients or the nursing staff to speak English.
 
Your first step would be to contact the departments / clinics and to check whether there will be a free slot in the requested period. Contactdates of the teaching coordinators
