Hospitals

Done properly, or not at all.

Italian hospitals protect their patients - with privacy rules and a medical direction that authorises every educational activity. We work inside those rules, in writing. That is exactly why your experience holds up in an interview.

How hospital experiences work

Agreed per hospital, in writing

Each partner institution defines which settings it opens: observation alongside its physicians and teaching facilities. We never promise what a hospital has not signed.

Small groups, always accompanied

Groups of 4 to 6 students with program staff, about 45 to 48 hours over the four weeks.

Patients come first

Where patients are present, activities follow the hospital's privacy and dignity protocols - the same rules that govern Italian medical students.

Fully insured

Accident, third-party liability and international health cover arranged by the university, included in your fee.
