With the ability to do an internship, we offer you the opportunity to get a job at the Department of Paediatrics and Adolescent Medicine at the Kepler University Hospital to develop and participate in everyday nursing care at the clinic. Whether in the emergency room or ward, you will be in direct contact with children of all ages and their parents. You will be guided by our experienced pediatric nursing staff and will also have the opportunity to assist doctors with their daily routine.
After completing your first compulsory internship, you will have the opportunity to work as a student employee at the Department of Paediatrics and Adolescent Medicine at the Kepler University Hospital to support doctors in their day-to-day clinical work. As a university clinic, our mission is to care for children with chronic and rare diseases. You will be assigned to one of these specialist areas (neurology, endocrinology, oncology, gastroenterology, nephrology) and, as a team member, you will look after both outpatient and inpatient children and also support the medical team in dealing with scientific questions.
Pediatrics and adolescent medicine are taught here in a 4-week module. In addition to lectures and courses, we also value good practical training at the bedside. Bed–side teaching with children always brings surprises and the unexpected; every child is unique in their behavior. We hope you enjoy examining children.

Elective courses in pediatrics and adolescent medicine.
As part of your KPJ, you can spend up to 12 weeks at the Department of Paediatrics and Adolescent Medicine at the Kepler University Hospital.

The buddy system (an assistant doctor will be at your side throughout your training) gives you the opportunity to be there live during exciting examinations/interventions on children, whether intrathecal chemotherapy for leukemia patients or intraoperative EEG. You choose what you want to see. You also have the opportunity to accompany an after-hours service or to shift your duty hours in the emergency room to the evening hours.
