Medicine and Surgery

Education and training are fully integrated with Humanitas Hospital and the Scientific Research Center. From the very first year of the Medicine and Surgery Degree Course, theoretical and practical skills can be acquired thanks to the multidisciplinary modules combined with practical training carried out under the guidance of professors and researchers with international experience and more than 150 doctors, who also work as tutors and members of the teaching community. Simulation also plays a fundamental role in medical training: our Mario Luzzatto Simulation Center is a 2000 square metres state-of-the-art Simulation Lab, one of the most technologically advanced in Europe which complements the academic components in training healthcare professionals. In the Simulation Center students have the opportunity to integrate theoretical knowledge with practical skills, thanks to its emergency room, operating theatres, ambulatories, clinical and surgical skill rooms and multimedia booths.

From the third year, students will start their clinical training at Humanitas Research Hospitals under the supervision of specialised tutors, who follow undergraduates through their clinical practice. Students can also join interdisciplinary programs dedicated to biomedical research, featuring interactive teaching activities and laboratory experience to enable active participation in scientific research.
Future doctors can also benefit from a study period abroad, by means of travel grants and the Erasmus programme.
