With the study of medicine known to go through the university education, the future physicians. The study contains the theoretical foundations of many aspects of professional practice, making it equivalent to a vocational training. Will you be active after graduation as an independent doctor, one must undergo additional specialized training in a medical sub-area-such as general medical practice.
The medical school is one of the most demanding and sought after programs and has a long tradition. Thus leads to modern medicine to its roots in the Greek healer Hippocrates and the Hippocratic oath back.
Because of the high prestige and good earning potential, resulting from a medical study, the rush to take the university places continues to grow.

Half of the ZVS-places will be awarded on the basis of university-Note, while the other half is divided by the number of qualifying semester. The remaining 60% of the contracts to study places are awarded by the universities themselves.
The normal period is 12 semesters of medical school and three months and is divided into two sections.
The first stage of training-the so-called pre-clinical part-extends from the first until the fourth semester. These give the student the theoretical basis for the subsequent field training as a physician. There are thus the natural and social scientific basis of medicine taught. We also have to be completed several internships in disciplines such as anatomy, physics, chemistry, etc.. Furthermore an optional course, a nursing internship and a first aid training are required to be able to complete the preclinical part of the so-called "first part of the medical examination".
Subsequently, the medical school will continue in the clinical part. Here is a wide range of medical disciplines, such as general medicine, surgery, dermatology or internal medicine is taught. In addition, the student a certain number of performance records can show in so-called cross-sectional areas.
While completing this part of the course, the trainee doctors in the free period and four months clerkship. The clerkship is designed to introduce students to the medical doctor familiar with patient care. In addition, the final year of studies not yet completed the "practical year" in which the learned in the previous study theoretical principles in practice most patients are used.
