The six-year program, taught entirely in English, allows students to master theoretical and practical competencies from the first year, thanks to multidisciplinary modules combined with practical training and simulation activities. Courses are taught by professors, researchers and more than 150 doctors with international experience. The International Advisory Board remains active in helping the University achieve its educational and training goals.
The insights students gain from these industry luminaries are applied in the third year of the program. This period is spent in clinical training under the supervision of professional faculty at the top-notch Humanitas Research Hospital. In the simulation center, students learn about anatomical surgery and experimental teaching of medical procedures. Here, real-life clinical scenarios are re-enacted, allowing students to learn soft skills such as patient communication and teamwork between healthcare professionals alongside their medical knowledge.
