- The distribution of clinical training for the degree programme in medicine is random. This means that your clinical training may take place at the same hospital, or be distributed among different hospitals.
- As a student you can therefore find that all of your clinical training takes place outside of Aarhus; on the other hand, all your clinical training could also take place in Aarhus.
- In the case of the heart, lungs and vascular system semester, the location of the rotation depends on which elective subject you receive as a student. However, the distribution of the clinical location remains random.
- At each distribution of clinical training there is a short period for swapping clinical training placements with one another. Specific information regarding deadlines etc. in connection with the individual distribution of clinical training will be sent by email. The board of studies does not welcome the trading of clinical training placements.
- The following hospitals are considered by the board of studies to be within commuting distance of Aarhus:
- Randers
- Silkeborg
- Horsens
- Viborg
Stationing will apply at the Regionshospital Gødstrup. Stationing involves the possibilty of overnight stays which you'll arrange directly with the hospital.
You will receive a seperate e-mail regarding the possibility of stationing directly from Regionshospitalet Gødstrup.
In the e-mail you will find the necessary information regarding overnight stays, and the deadline for applying for the accommodation. If you don’t apply within the given deadline, you are not guaranteed free accommodation.
As a student you have the possibility to apply for exemption from the drawing of lots and receive priority for a clinical training placement in Aarhus or within commuting distance, if you qualify under the principals named:
