Rheumatology and immunology are integrated into the medical curriculum through a variety of required and elective courses. The fundamentals of our discipline are taught in Compulsory Module XIV – Fundamentals of Internal Medicine II and in the Compulsory Track Symptoms and Differential Diagnoses I. In addition, there are numerous opportunities for in-depth study during the Clinical-Practical Year (KPJ), through clinical rotations, free electives, Special Study Modules (SSMs), and the Special Research Module (SFM). Our discipline is also represented in the dental curriculum in the required module ZPM X – Internal Medicine. Electives, literature clubs, thesis projects, and the annual Rheumatology Summer School offer dedicated students further opportunities to engage intensively with our exciting field.
