[Full clinical placements for medical students can start as early as the third year of medical training].
The undergraduate medical curriculum in Utrecht provides students with early clinical experience in their third year by two full clinical placements in general medical areas. With this, an optimum context for the integration of biomedical knowledge is achieved. The doctor in training gains experience in an authentic setting as early as possible in the medical education programme with modern opinions on professionalism that fit in with current societal requirements.
