Medical Practice & Policy
The Medical Practice & Policy program is designed for students with a serious, documented interest in medicine and have the required science background. The core course and study tours offer you a unique clinical course for pre-med students, not available in the US; valuable hands-on medical experience such as patient cases and clinical lab exercises; insight into clinical practices and health provision in countries other than the US; and improved chances of getting into the medical school of your choice.
Core Course
Introduction to the most important human diseases, their diagnosis and treatment, and to the clinical working methods of physicians as practiced at a Danish university hospital. Medical policy in the Danish welfare state.
Prerequisites
One year of biology and one year of chemistry at the university level.
Study Tours
- A short regional study tour in Denmark
