Internships are mandatory for undergraduate programs taught at the University of La Laguna and expose students to real-life situations, complementing their training with the reality of the working world.

In the Medicine Degree, external internships are included in the Curriculum as clinical internships, which are included and integrated into the mandatory credits for the final academic year's rotating course. The course is entirely devoted to clinical internships.

Clinical practice takes place at the University Hospital Complex of the Canary Islands; the University Hospital Complex Nuestra Señora de la Candelaria and at the Primary Care Centers of the Canary Islands Health Service (SCS) that are contracted for teaching, within the framework of the agreement between the Public Universities of the Canary Islands and the SCS agreement between the University of La Laguna and the SCS for the teaching use of public hospitals and health entities.

General requirements for completing Rotational Subjects

To complete the rotating subjects, students must meet the requirements established in the teaching guides for each rotating subject, as well as any other general academic requirements established by the degree in its Modification Report.

The Rotation Coordinator is responsible for agreeing with the subject coordinators and the leaders of each center on the number of students admitted, the duration, and the activities to be carried out by the students.
