New website of the University Medicine Oldenburg (UMO)

The website “universitätsmedizin-oldenburg.de” provides an overview of UMO's structures and news from university medicine. It complements the websites of the faculty and the cooperating hospitals and gives external visitors in particular an impression of UMO's diversity and unique selling points.

To the UMO website

The model course of study in human medicine is the first time in Germany that medical training is taking place across borders. 120 study places are currently available annually on the Oldenburg side at the European Medical School Oldenburg-Groningen.

Characteristics of the school VI are the highly regarded cross-border model course in human medicine - the European Medical School Oldenburg-Groningen (EMS) - as well as the close integration of basic research, clinical research and health care research. It thus offers students and scientists an excellent environment in which to acquire and apply the knowledge and skills necessary for the medicine of the future.
