Learning outcomes describe what a student is expected to know, understand, or be able to do upon completing an internship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please also note that in order to do an internship at a healthcare institution in Estonia, you need a <strong>general medical certificate<\/strong>. For that you need&nbsp;an occupational health examination that includes a nurse&#8217;s appointment, and potentially a chest X-ray.<br>It is recommended that you have followed the general vaccination scheme. Depending on the host institution of your traineeship, you may need to be<strong> <\/strong>vaccinated for Hepatitis B and\/or submit the results of a MRSA test.&nbsp;You are expected to take the medical certificate with you to the institution you will be doing your internship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Erasmus+ students require&nbsp;<strong>comprehensive insurance<\/strong> that typically includes medical, liability, and accident coverage, as mandated by the program and various host country regulations.&nbsp;While the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) provides some access to public healthcare within EU countries, it is often insufficient and requires a complementary private policy for full protection.&nbsp;<br>According to our Procedure for Practical Training, the university is not responsible for the liability insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The application deadline for incoming Erasmus students is <strong>15 May<\/strong> for the autumn semester (September-December) and <strong>15 October<\/strong> for the spring semester (January-June).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>For additional information contact: <a href=\"mailto:erasmus@nooruse.ee\">erasmus@tartuh.ee<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Internships at TARTUH<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the feedback we have received, foreign students value highly the quality and the hands-on experience of the internship they have done here. On average a practice day consists of 6 working hours, but different agreements with hospital supervisors are possible. It is also worth pointing out that although the university is located in Tartu, it does not automatically mean that all of the clinical practices will be carried out in Tartu. We cooperate with many healthcare institutions all over Estonia. <br><strong>Please wait for the confirmation of your placement location before booking accommodation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Erasmus Student Network Tartu<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ESN Tartu is the oldest of five ESN sections in Estonia. It was founded in 2000 and is an officially registered NGO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are working to make the lives of international students studying in Tartu more interesting and making them feel more at home. ESN Tartu organizes a few&nbsp;events a week&nbsp;for them ranging from trips to parties to movie evenings to game nights to theater visits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ESN Tartu&nbsp; works together with the universities in Tartu: University of Tartu, Estonian University of Life Sciences, Tartu Art College, Tartu Applied Health Sciences University and Estonian Aviation Academy to make their students&#8217; lives in Tartu more exciting and fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"228\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tartuh.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/EN_Co-fundedbytheEU_RGB_POS-1024x228.png\" alt=\"Flag of the European Union with the text &quot;Co-funded by the European Union&quot;\" class=\"wp-image-10852\" style=\"width:500px;height:undefinedpx\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tartuh.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/EN_Co-fundedbytheEU_RGB_POS-1024x228.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.tartuh.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/EN_Co-fundedbytheEU_RGB_POS-300x67.png 300w, https:\/\/www.tartuh.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/EN_Co-fundedbytheEU_RGB_POS-768x171.png 768w, https:\/\/www.tartuh.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/EN_Co-fundedbytheEU_RGB_POS-1536x343.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.tartuh.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/EN_Co-fundedbytheEU_RGB_POS-2048x457.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"_personShort\" role=\"region\" aria-label=\"Person short\"><div class=\"_personShortWrap\" role=\"group\" aria-label=\"Person info\"><div class=\"_mainPersonInfo\" role=\"group\" aria-label=\"Main person info\"><p class=\"_name\" role=\"note\" aria-label=\"Name\">Frederik Mathias Helm<\/p><p class=\"_position\" role=\"note\" aria-label=\"Position\">Rahvusvaheliste suhete spetsialist<\/p><a class=\"_phone\" href=\"tel:+372 7370267\"  aria-label=\"Phone\">+372 737 0267<\/a><a class=\"_email\" href=\"mailto:frederik.mathias.helm@tartuh.ee\"  aria-label=\"Email\">frederik.mathias.helm@tartuh.ee<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tartu Applied Health Sciences University (TARTUH) collaborates with a wide network of Erasmus+ programme partners across Europe.
