Programme information
This master's programme requires you to be active, engaged in healthcare and research. Seeing the person behind the patient, handling emotional reactions and relying on your own ethical values and moral integrity to ensure that you make carefully considered decisions are some of the aspects covered by this programme. To succeed, you need to be inquisitive, open and accessible. Last, but not least, you must be able to function in a team with other professionals.
Patient-centred
The programme aims to train you to analyse, identify and solve patient problems. UM's medical programme is patient-centred. That's why we've adopted a multidisciplinary approach since medical problems are hardly ever isolated problems. During your master's programme, you will gradually be given more responsibility in dealing with patients.
The programme of the first two years includes 11 obligatory clinical rotations as well as one elective. You work at several departments, where you see patients, make diagnoses and help to solve the patients medical problems.
Clinical rotations year 1
- Internal Medicine (10 weeks)
- Surgery (10 weeks)
- ENT (5 weeks)
- Ophthalmology (5 weeks)

- Elective (10 weeks)
Clinical rotations year 2

- Psychiatry (6 weeks)
- Obstetrics/Gynaecology (6 weeks)

The third and final year of your master's programme is focused on independent functioning and participation (still under supervision). This will be done by means of research participation, during which you'll write a research proposal, and by active involvement in patient care, which will allow you to specialise in a specific medical area.
