Practical Year

PY eligibility is attested by the internal Examination Office for Human Medicine (D. Comberg) for students of the so-called Modellstudiengang – the reformed, model course of medical study introduced in WS 2003/04 and now attended by all Cologne students.

According to Section 1(2) sent. 1 no. 1 of the Regulations governing the licence to practice medicine (Approbationsordnung für Ärzte – ÄAppO), the Practical Year is completed in the final year of medical training and is divided into the following three 16-week training periods (tertials):

 

  • Internal Medicine
  • Surgery
  • One of the remaining Clinical-Practical Fields (other than the two mentioned above)

You can obtain further information on the procedure in the Distribution Regulations (Verteilungsordnung) governing the allocation of students to the Academic Training Hospitals (ALKs) and the University Hospital. The pertinent attachments include lists of the elective courses offered at the ALKs and specify the PY commencement dates.
