Norja

I spent my preclinical exchange in Trondheim, Norway. My department was mainly endocrinology. In addition to that I spent time also in departments of gastrology, cardiology and ER. My usual day started with a meeting with the doctors in endocrinology department and they discussed days program and patients. After that I usually followed one of the doctors either to the rounds at the ward or to at policlinic. At afternoons endocrinologist just did paperworks or gave consultation by phone, so I was usually at the gastro or

My exchange position was in Universitetssykehus Nord Norge (UNN) in Norway,
Tromso.

I had a great time and will miss all my new friends! I lived with three
other girls in a student hostel where we all had own rooms but shared the
kitchen and the toilets. It took about 10 minutes to the hospital by buss
and 30 minutes on foot. Otherwise the lodging was fine, but we didn´t
actually had an opportunity to cook there although I had made sure from my
contact person beforehand that we could. There was a stove and a fridge in

I did my preclinical exchange program in Trondheim, Norway in the summer of 2006. During the first week I worked at the newborn intensive care unit of St. Olav’s hospital, and the second week I spent in the delivery department. The building for women and children was very nice and brand new. Doctors, nurses and midwives were all very helpful, patient and nice. Everybody I encountered spoke fluent English. They preferred Swedish, however, and I tried my best to use it. Usually they understood my

Olin kahden viikon prekliinisessä vaihdossa heinäkuun kaksi vikaa viikkoa Trondheimissä. Matkustin laivalla ja junalla. Vaikka matkaan menikin reilu vuorokausi, oli se silti kiva tapa matkustaa. Oli mukava nähdä vähän Ruotsia ja Norjaa junalla matkustaessa. Matka vuoriston läpi Trondheimiin oli todella kaunis. Trondheimissä minua oli yhteyshenkilöni vastassa. Hän vei minut asuntoon, jossa asuin kaksi viikkoa ja opasti kaikissa käytännön asioissa. Lisäksi hän tutustutti minut lähellä asuviiin muihin vaihtareihin, jotka opastivat minut seuraavana aamuna

I was in the Haukeland Hospital in Bergen. First week I was in the Gastro surgery department and second week I spent in urology department. I was supposed to be with a just graduated doctor, who was on duty, but mostly i spent my time in the surgery rooms. Normally I was with a swedish preclinic student just hanging around in front of the surgery theaters and we asked from surgeons that if we could go and see some operations. Usually it was alright, and we were able to see some gastro surgery operations, bypasses and few urological operations. Few

I did my preclinical exchange project in Trondheim, Norway. In St. Olav's hospital I was supposed to be in neurology, but somehow I found myself in the department of neurosurgery. However, it was a really good experience. The department was just rebuilt and everything was new and of high technology. All the doctors, nurses and other personnel were more than nice and explained also in English about the department and patients. The first week I participated in the morning meetings with the doctors, and it was quite interesting even though I did not understand

I did my preclinical exchange at the Department of Neurology in Haukeland University Hospital in Bergen during the first two weeks of July 2006.

 

The typical day started at 8 a.m. with the morning meeting of the department where the doctors discussed the patient cases together. After that, we went to the main building where the radiological meetings were held. The meetings were interesting, though quite challenging to follow.

I did my preclinical exchange in Haukeland University Hospital in Bergen, Norway. I was in the department of cardiovascular surgery. I usually spent about four-five hours at the hospital per day. The day started with the doctors' morning meeting after which I usually followed a doctor to the operation room where I got to follow an operation. I saw cardiac bypass surgeries as well as a couple of lung surgeries. The doctors were nice and it was interesting to follow their work although they didn't always explain what
