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.
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.
MCE has established a partnership with the Ecclesiastic Order of the Brothers of Saint John of God (Brothers of Mercy) for clinical training 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.
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.
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.
