53 graduates of the German-language program of Semmelweis University in Germany received their diplomas on July 19 at the Embassy of Hungary in Berlin. This is the thirteenth time that graduates of Semmelweis University\u2019s German-language program have received their degrees.<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In 2008, Semmelweis University signed an agreement with the Asklepios Clinics Group, one of the largest clinic networks in Germany, which resulted in the creation of the Asklepios Campus Hamburg (ACH), a bi-national faculty within the Faculty of Medicine (\u00c1OK). After the first two years of theoretical education, students in the German-language program can continue their studies at ACH in Hamburg from the third year.<\/p>\n

At the graduation ceremony, Zolt\u00e1n Vad, Deputy Head of Mission and host of the event, gave a welcome address, after which Dr. Karl J. Oldhafer, Rector\u2019s Commissioner and Dean\u2019s Commissioner of ACH, congratulated the graduates of the 13th year. In addition to Dr. Karl J. Oldhafer, Dr. B\u00e9la Merkely, Rector of Semmelweis University; Dr. P\u00e9ter Nyir\u00e1dy, Dean of \u00c1OK; and Dr. Veronika M\u00fcller, Vice-Dean of \u00c1OK and Rector\u2019s Commissioner for the clinical affairs of international students, conferred the Doctor of Medicine degrees on the students.<\/p>\n

For the first time in ACH\u2019s history, the best graduating students, Dr. Jana Lissa Schon and Dr. Jakob Manfred Schaefer, were honored with certificates for their outstanding achievement.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Dr. B\u00e9la Merkely, Rector of Semmelweis University, welcomed the newly graduated doctors and congratulated them on their medical degrees. \u201cFor you, dear graduates, newly graduated doctors of the Medical Faculty of Semmelweis University\u2019s Asklepios Campus Hamburg, an era is coming to an end once and for all, and a new era is about to begin. The university years are over – but you cannot sit back and relax because the years of learning never come to an end. This is because we doctors can only be the best we can be if we constantly nurture, update, and expand our knowledge,\u201d he noted. Dr. B\u00e9la Merkely added:<\/p>\n

\n

With your diplomas in hand, you already know and feel exactly what your teachers and mentors have repeatedly stressed throughout your studies: being a doctor is not just a profession. It is a vocation that is literally about life, for a lifetime.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Dr. Holger Maul, Head Physician for obstetrics and prenatal medicine at Asklepios Kliniken Barmbek, Nord-Heidberg und Wandsbek, was honored at the ceremony and appointed department group leader and subject leader at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Asklepios Campus Hamburg. His colleague, Dr. Thorsten Hanke, Head Physician for cardiac surgery at Asklepios Klinikum Hamburg, was appointed subject leader at the ACH\u2019s Cardiac Surgery Department.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The graduates were also welcomed by Dr. Thorsten Thiel, Managing Director of Asklepios Medical School GmbH. \u201cAs the graduating class of 2024 at Semmelweis University\u2019s Asklepios Campus Hamburg, you, dear newly graduated doctors, can expect special challenges in your medical work,\u201d he said. As he pointed out, advances in digitalization, the diverse applications of artificial intelligence, the high demands on personal knowledge management, and the ever-changing policy framework all mean that new graduates face many tasks in their daily clinical practice and medical research. \u201cAll this may seem overwhelming at first. But I am confident that you will all rise to these challenges very well,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n

At the end of the event, the new doctors, together with the university leadership and ACH staff, walked to the Brandenburg Gate for a group photo, where the 53 new medical doctors threw their hats in the air.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Since the establishment of ACH, Semmelweis University\u2019s affiliated campus in Germany, 2500 young German-speaking students have received their medical degrees.<\/p>\n\r\n [slb_exclude]\r\n

As Dr. B\u00e9la Merkely emphasized in his statement to the Hungarian News Agency Corp. (MTI) in Berlin: \u201cIt is a source of pride for us that interest in the program remains high to this day. This shows that a Hungarian diploma, particularly the one from Semmelweis, is highly valued worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n
