Welcome to the page of our new program for female students!
Workshops, info talks and networking
Orientation, doctoral studies and networking already take place for medical students during their studies, but for students in the other scientific subjects at the MHH, career orientation and, above all, networking already take place during the master's program. Therefore, the support program for female students starts right there, offers career orientation and promotes interest in research and a career in university medicine. The program is a preliminary stage of the ECM and IPM. It is also possible to participate in all three programs.
The program lasts about 3 months and includes 3-4 full-day events (probably on Saturdays) and 8-10 afternoon events (about 2-3 hours).
Overview of [studentinnen:förderung]
The aim is to support prospective female doctors and scientists in all courses of study at the MHH with regard to starting their careers, empowerment and early networking.
The program is designed for female students from the clinical semesters onwards or in the other scientific subjects from the master's program onwards and takes place over a period of one semester. In addition to peer network building, it consists of a qualification program.
The program is scheduled to last three months in the summer semester (April to July). There will be about one full-day event per month (probably on Saturdays) and one or two short events lasting two to three hours.
