The Main-Klinik Ochsenfurt as an academic teaching hospital was recently included in the funding program “Beste Country Outing General Medicine Program”, in short: BeLA. Of the eight medical students trained at the Main-Klinik Ochsenfurt in their practical year (PJ), four prospective physicians can now receive a monthly BeLA scholarship of 600 euros. The hospital informed about this in a press release. In Ochsenfurt, students Melissa Zimniak and Kathrin Wrba will benefit from this for the first time. With this funding measure, the Free State of Bavaria is trying to secure the future of medical care – especially in rural areas.
“In the BeLA program we work closely with our partners, our practical year students are looked after intensively and we would like to make the region around Ochsenfurt palatable for them so that they ideally stay here in the area after their studies,” says medical director Dr . Joachim Stenzel quoted in the message, who welcomed the newest students at the Ochsenfurt hospital. The PY representative and chief physician of general and visceral surgery, Dr. Alexander Wierlemann adds: “In large hospitals you are often not noticed or used as a ‘hook holder’. In smaller hospitals, such as ours at the Main Clinic, our practical year students benefit from flat hierarchies, the great commitment and interest of our doctors and the familiar way in which we deal with one another.”
The Main-Klinik Ochsenfurt (140 beds, four operating rooms) has been the academic teaching hospital of the Julius Maximilian University of Würzburg since 2020 and trains medical students in the compulsory subjects of internal medicine and surgery.
