Block internship in general medicine

The block placement in General Practice is anchored in Module 6 of the curriculum.

Important: All students are guaranteed a place on the General Practice block placement!

All students in Module 6 who have completed Module 23 are guaranteed a place for the introductory day and a practical placement when they register for OC.

All students who cannot complete the block placement in Module 6 for curricular reasons are guaranteed a place in a semester break* before the planned state examination thanks to the option of special registration. Students are entitled to this special registration:

- Students with module 6 before module 23

- Full-time doctoral students in Module 6 with a scholarship

- Students who took Module 6 in the summer semester 2021 or earlier

* as soon as you are in the 8th semester and have completed both Module 23 and the General Medicine seminar. The last possible semester break is the semester break in the same year from mid-February to April if the state examination is planned for the fall, and the semester break in the previous year from August to mid-October if the state examination is planned for the spring.

Registration for the block internship in general medicine in module 6/leave semester:

The introductory day takes place on the first Monday at the beginning of the semester. The block internship can be completed during the entire semester following the introductory day.

Please note: Students who write the 2nd state examination directly after Module 6 must have completed their block internship by week 11 of the semester at the latest.

If you are in a semester off, please contact the Office of the Dean of Studies to find out whether you are eligible to book.

Registration for the block internship in general medicine during the semester break:

The introductory day takes place on the first Monday of the semester break. The block internship can be completed after the introductory day during the entire semester break.

The places still available after the special registrations during the semester break can be booked on a first-come-first-serve basis by all students who are at least in the 8th semester and have taken both Module 23 and the General Medicine seminar.

Please note that this first-come-first-serve registration is an additional registration offer without any guarantee of a place. For all students outside of this registration, there is a guaranteed place for the introductory day as described above.

FAQs:

1. can the block internship also be done in a "normal" GP practice?

The block internship can only be completed at specially suitable teaching practices at LMU Munich. As the practices decide individually each semester whether and when they offer block internship places, the offer varies. For this reason, it is only possible to book internships via the OC booking portal.

2. is there a list of teaching practices in advance?

The teaching practices decide individually each semester whether and when they offer block internships. Once you have successfully registered for the introductory day, you can view a list of the teaching practices for the relevant period under "Resources".

3. are full-time doctoral students without a scholarship also guaranteed a place for the semester break?

No, as in consultation with the doctoral office, these students are allowed to do the block internship during their doctorate in module 6.

4. can I do the introductory day during the semester, but the block internship during the semester break?

No. The introductory day and block internship must always be completed in the same period: both in the semester or both in the semester break.

5. is there an alternative or substitute for the introductory day?

Unfortunately not. Attendance at the introductory day is compulsory.

6. can the block internship be completed in any semester break?

Students who have a guaranteed place for the semester break due to a special quota can do the block internship in a vacation period (after completing Module 23 and the General Medicine seminar) before the state examination. Please ensure that you plan your clinical traineeships accordingly. The guaranteed place via the special contingent can only be redeemed once.

For your planning: the last possible vacations for the internship are the semester break in the same year from mid-February to April if the state examination is planned for the fall, and the semester break in the previous year from August to mid-October if the state examination is planned for the spring.

Students who register for the remaining places on a first-come-first-serve basis can do the block internship in any semester break as soon as they are in the 8th semester and have completed both Module 23 and the General Practice seminar.

7 When and how do I register for the special contingent?

Please register before the vacation period in which you would like to redeem the guaranteed place with the necessary proof by e-mail to: katja.scheidmoll@med.uni-muenchen.de

(Proof: for module 6 before 23 no proof necessary, for full-time research with scholarship please confirm from the doctoral office)

For the upcoming semester break (August 11 to October 10, 2025) , this would be the week from June 23 to 30, 2025. We ask for your understanding that we will check the requests collectively.
