Oncology Winter School

About

Under the direction of experienced faculty members, the students are taken through a challenging but highly stimulating learning program. They spend the first part of the day on the oncology wards, learning the daily routines, accompanying patients from reception through diagnostic procedures to therapy sessions. The afternoons are taken up with courses on the latest diagnostic methods or therapeutic approaches, and discussion of individual case studies in small groups.

Course leader

Prof. Dr. med. Martin Dreyling

Target group

The elective addresses senior medical students, particularly those from LMU partner universities, who attend this four-week rotation together with senior medical students from LMU.

A "study buddy" from LMU is assigned to each participant from abroad, and helps to pilot his or her partner through the complexities of hospital practice.

Course aim

In the course of a four-week program at LMU, medical students from around the world get a close-up view of the everyday routines in an oncology clinic.
