A memorable clinical placement in Malmö 🇸🇪🩺
We were delighted to welcome Nazim from Lille University, France, one of our partner universities, for a four-week clinical placement in Obstetrics & Gynaecology at Malmö University Hospital.
For Nazim, the most memorable moment was undoubtedly witnessing a particularly moving birth. He also appreciated the Swedish way of working, especially the flat hierarchy and the fact that everyone is on a first-name basis – something that was quite surprising when he first arrived!
During his placement, Nazim had the opportunity to meet and interact with many patients and experience everyday life in a Swedish maternity unit. He is taking some special memories back to France – including the fika after a birth and Malmö’s beautiful tradition of adding a flower to the birth tree for every baby born. 🌸
In his own words, his experience was:
“I was able to complete a good clinical placement with a fantastic team in a really lovely city. So ... Tack så mycket för allt!” ❤️
Thank you, Nazim, for choosing Lund and Malmö for your clinical experience! We hope you take home many great memories – and perhaps a little Swedish fika culture too. ☕🇸🇪

LEARNING THROUGH EXCHANGE: Helena’s Paediatrics Placement in Lund

Helena is a medical student from Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile currently undertaking her Paediatrics placement in Lund, Sweden. She describes her experience as extremely positive and highlights the inclusive and supportive atmosphere on the ward.

She particularly appreciates the relaxed learning environment, where teaching is based on collaboration rather than formal questioning. Instead of being tested on knowledge, she is encouraged to participate in clinical work and learn through teamwork, which she finds both reassuring and highly educational.

Helena has also been struck by the way healthcare professionals interact with children, noting that there is a greater emphasis on play and engagement with young patients in the clinical setting than she has experienced before.

Outside of the hospital, she has enjoyed experiencing Swedish culture, especially the food and traditions, and she took part in celebrating Midsummer, which she describes as a memorable experience.

Helena says that coming to Sweden was one of the best career decisions she has made. She feels she is growing both professionally and personally during her placement and believes the environment helps her potential become more visible. Thank you for visiting us, Helena!

✨ Vad händer när medicin möter humaniora? Under ett par inspirerande junidagar samlades studenter från s*x universitet inom U21-nätverket för att utforska just detta genom temat ”Humanities in medicine”.

Det blev två härligt intensiva dagar fyllda av nya perspektiv, engagerade diskussioner, grupparbete, fina presentationer – och såklart många skratt! 💬 Efter en halvdag med föreläsningar fick studenterna arbeta tillsammans med olika case, och dag två rundades av med riktigt imponerande presentationer. Stort tack till alla arrangörer, föreläsare och studenter som bidrog med energi, nyfikenhet och engagemang. Och ett extra stort tack till våra egna studenter Ida, Rebecka, Liv, Elin, Mathilde och Misbah – så roligt att ni var med och gjorde dagarna ännu bättre! 🌟

From Scotland to Sweden – a truly transformative elective experience ✨

We are proud to highlight the inspiring journey of Thomas Zhang, a medical student from the University of Edinburgh, who recently completed his elective at Växjö Hospital through Lund University, Faculty of Medicine.

During his placement, Thomas rotated through neurology, pathology, primary care, and laboratory medicine, actively participating in both clinical work and academic projects. He was also involved in teaching, where he shared perspectives from his training in the UK and contributed to valuable academic exchange between Växjö and Edinburgh.

He reflects:
“My elective taught me resilience, adaptability, and the importance of human connection in healthcare.”

We are very grateful to have hosted Thomas and proud to support an environment where international students can learn, contribute, and grow.

Thank you, Thomas — we wish you all the best in your future career in medicine!
