From the third academic year onwards, MCE students have the opportunity to complete clinical placements within a network of affiliated teaching hospitals, gaining exposure to real healthcare environments under clinical supervision.

An International Hospital Network

MCE collaborates with a network of affiliated teaching hospitals that support the clinical education of its medical students.

These partnerships provide students with opportunities to experience healthcare delivery in different clinical contexts and international environments, contributing to a well-rounded medical education.

Clinical Internships at the UMBAL University Hospital “Prof. Dr. Stoyan Kirkovich”

MCE has established a partnership with UMBAL University Hospital "Prof. Dr. Stoyan Kirkovich" in Stara Zagora, Bulgaria, providing medical students with valuable core clinical iInternships opportunities from the third year of the programme.

As one of Bulgaria's leading university hospitals and the principal teaching hospital of Trakia University, UMBAL "Prof. Dr. Stoyan Kirkovich" offers a multidisciplinary clinical environment where students gain hands-on experience across a wide range of medical specialties while working alongside experienced healthcare professionals.

This collaboration allows MCE students to strengthen their clinical knowledge, develop practical skills through direct patient interaction and experience the realities of modern hospital practice in a well-established academic healthcare setting.

Clinical Internships at the University Hospital of Saint John of God

MCE has established a partnership with the Ecclesiastic Order of the Brothers of Saint John of God (Brothers of Mercy) for clinical internships at their University Hospital in Bratislava, Slovakia.

The Order is internationally recognised for its centuries-long tradition in healthcare, its commitment to compassionate patient care and its contribution to clinical education and medical research.

As part of one of the largest church-run hospital networks in the world, the University Hospital provides students with access to a clinical environment shaped by both academic excellence and a strong patient-centred philosophy.

Clinical Internships at Saint Michael's University Hospital

MCE also collaborates with Saint Michael's University Hospital in Bratislava, one of Slovakia's most modern and technologically advanced medical institutions.

Known for its contemporary infrastructure, innovative technologies and dynamic clinical environment, the hospital offers students valuable exposure to modern healthcare practice across a range of medical disciplines.

For future doctors, learning within advanced clinical settings can provide important insights into current standards of patient care and healthcare delivery.

Preparing Future Doctors Through International Clinical Education

Clinical placements are a fundamental component of the MCE medical programme. Through partnerships with affiliated teaching hospitals, students have the opportunity to experience healthcare beyond the classroom and develop a deeper understanding of clinical practice.

Combined with an English-taught medical curriculum, small academic groups and an international learning environment, these clinical experiences help prepare students for the next stages of their medical education and future professional development.
