The Medical Internship Program

Purpose

The Medical Internship Program of the AAF consists of the OMI Internships for adult medicine and the Pro Infantibus Internships in pediatrics. The objective of the Medical Internship Program is to further integrate seminar alumni into the international medical community by inviting them to spend a total of three internship months, in one-month increments, at Austrian hospitals to improve their clinical skills. During their stay fellows are able to see new operating techniques, new treatment protocols and modern hospital management. Furthermore, they are able to establish long term relationships with their Austrian colleagues in the form of ongoing studies between the respective institutions, etc. The internships offer fellows a window to the world of medicine on an ongoing basis.

Eligibility

Internships are offered only to alumni of the Salzburg Medical Seminars International. Fluency in English is required, German language skills are recommended. Internships may be spent in Austrian hospitals only.
