The professional profile of our graduates is characterized by a sound scientific knowledge of diseases and diagnostic procedures, by a strong ethical structure, accountability, consciousness of his/her own limitations, understanding of culture diversity, capability to solve urgent health problems, and respect for each individual, regardless of his/her religion, values, race, sex or any other peculiarities. They are supposed to mature a strongly integrated approach to the patient, critically assessing the clinical as much as the relational aspects. During the course they acquire the educational, social and ethical aspects involved in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of illness, as well as the rehabilitation and recovery of the highest possible level of psychophysical well-being. Our graduates are exposed to the content and methods of scientific research in the context of a translational training aimed at leading them in their lifelong learning and/or in their profession of biomedical scientists.
Graduates in the Medicine and Surgery degree courses acquire the professional profile adequate to carry out medical-surgical work in the different professional clinical, health and bio-medical roles and spheres.
The degree in Medicine and Surgery gives access to the State Examination for authorisation to practise as a M.D. Once the examination has been passed, access is given to registration in the relative professional order. In addition, the degree in Medicine and Surgery is a requirement for entry to the Postgraduate Medical Schools or the postgraduate courses for general practitioner.

The Program Erasmus+ provides European students with the opportunity to spend a period of study at an eligible partner University abroad, as a recognised part of their curriculum. The International Medical School participate to the Erasmus+ Program network, offering its students the opportunity to visit a host institution and attend lectures, seminars, participate in clerkships and research activities, attend scholarships for planning their dissertation. Destination can be chosen among the following European University: Austria (Wien), Belgio (Liege), Finlandia (Turku), Francia (Bordeaux, Lyon, Toulouse), Germania (Frankfurt am Main, Koln, Munchen, Wittenberg), Grecia (Volos), Polonia (Gdansku, Katowice, Lodz, Poznan, Torun, Warsaw), Portogallo (Lisboa, Porto), Romania (Napoca, Timisoara), Spagna (Alcalà, Cordoba, Elche, Laguna, Lleida, Madrid, Malaga, Murcia, Valencia, Zaragoza). Students admitted to year 3 to 6 can participate to Erasmus+ Program, planning a study period of 3-12 months in the hosting institution. Personnel of the Sportello Erasmus, may help in choosing appropriate activities and obtaining credits. Before leaving Italy, students should discuss a learning agreement and obtain approval by the Referent of Erasmus Programs. Final votes will be converted into the Italian system according to ECTS (European Credit Transfer System) conversion table, published on the website and shared by all the Medicine Departments of the University of Milan. 20 ECTS (CFU) will be recognised for a 3-month period abroad, 30 ECTS for 6 months and 60 ECTS for 9-12 months.
International Medical School students may also participate to Erasmus+ Placement Programs, to initiate scientific collaborations in international researches. Through clinical and research activities, they will improve scientific and relational skills by approaching new and different cultures and didactic methods.
Further opportunities will be offered to the students of the International Medical School by a bilateral agreement with extra European Universities (i.e. North and South America, with specific procedures different from those regulating Erasmus+ Programs). These agreements allow different exchange programs, including the Clerkship Program of the International Federation of Medical Students Associations (IFMSA).
