General Medicine

Overview

General Medicine at  University of Pécs  consists of six years of pre-clinical and clinical studies (ten semesters and one year of clinical rotations). The curriculum is drawn up in the belief that direct experience with patients, either at the bedside or in the operating theatre, is fundamental to a sound medical education. In the first or basic module, the students become familiar with the structure and functions of the healthy human body.

The students carry out mostly medical activity under the control of the teachers.
