Entry into highly specialised nursing areas requires not only specialist knowledge, but also confidence in practical work and personal orientation. With our trainee programme at Heidelberg University Hospital (UKHD), we provide new nursing staff with targeted support on this path - structured, individual and practical.

What does this mean?

The trainee programme is aimed at new colleagues who are starting out in particularly demanding areas - for example in the internal intensive care centre, on the general haematology ward or in the paediatric clinic. The programme has a modular structure, runs for around twelve months and allows flexible entry throughout the year.

Grow professionally - arrive personally

The programme combines structured induction with targeted training, workshops, specialist seminars and work shadowing. You rotate through various units in your specialist area, systematically expanding your knowledge and developing important soft skills. Experienced nursing staff will provide you with close support - as contact persons and mentors.

A programme that strengthens you

Our aim is to comprehensively prepare you for your new role in the team - professionally sound, personally supported and with a view to a long-term perspective in nursing. This is how we shape the nursing care of the future together - competently, humanely and sustainably.
