How often do medical students hear that they will understand the medical world and learn the most only after they enter the real world? It is no secret that out of all areas of education medicine is the most challenging. Universities can never convey all information and often fresh professionals find that the biggest struggles still await them.

The main goal of the ECCE Summer Program on Medicine is to bridge these difficulties in the professional world and teach young medical students how to approach them through theory as well as experience. The program further aims to broaden students’ knowledge on the latest worldwide trends in selected areas of medicine. It covers fields and information which expand beyond the extent of tuition generally provided at Medical Universities, but which are topics of importance for future practice of the candidates. ECCE aims to provide its graduates with an extra advantage among their colleagues. It enables them to stand out from the crowd in order to have an advantage on the job market by enabling them to taste present trends in medicine, to broaden their scope of vocational knowledge as well as practical work experience.

The program offers a vast range of lectures and also internships to choose from. This ensures that its graduates get a “complete package” of skills. It enables students to get a grasp of medicine and further enhance their skills, focusing both on their personal and professional development.
