MedUni Wien stellt Studienbetrieb auf „home-learning“ um

All News

(Vienna, 10 March 2020) In order to reduce the further spread of SARS CoV-2 infection as much as possible, MedUni Vienna has decided, in consultation with the authorities, to provisionally suspend all classes requiring physical attendance. Teaching will be moved to a home-learning and E-learning format.

This applies to lectures, seminars, practicals and exams, as well as medical internships including all fifth-year medical internships at Vienna General Hospital and at the teaching hospitals in Vienna and Lower Austria. In the case of clinical internship years, students can choose what to do in consultation with the respective teaching hospital.

In the vast majority of cases, SARS CoV-2 infection takes the form of a mild illness.  The temporary suspension of teaching serves to reduce the risk of infection by minimising potential contacts and is particularly aimed at protecting elderly and immunosuppressed patients in the hospital setting.
