Training & Education
The institutes and clinics of the Hubertus Wald Tumor Center – University Cancer Center Hamburg (UCC Hamburg) offer a wide range of training and continuing education opportunities for a variety of target groups.
One of the central missions of university institutions is to combine research and teaching. At UCC Hamburg, this involves not only training doctors, life scientists, and nurses, but also providing continuing education for patients and their families. To this end, appropriate structures for oncology have been created in collaboration with the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE), the Dean's Office, and the University of Hamburg (UHH).
Below you will find the various training and continuing education programs broken down by target group:
Specialist training and rotation placements
Specialist training for oncologists, radiation oncologists, and surgeons is available at the relevant clinics at UKE/UCC Hamburg. In addition, the UCC Hamburg Central Entry Port offers assistant physicians in oncology, radiation oncology, and surgery the opportunity to undertake a 6-month rotation.
Physicians from external UCC Hamburg partners (practices and clinics) also have the opportunity to specialize in palliative medicine, leukemia treatment or stem cell transplantation, or radiation oncology as part of a 12-month rotation at UCC Hamburg.
Advanced training course “Complementary Medicine in Oncology”
The advanced training series “Complementary Medicine in Oncology” deals with fundamental questions concerning the application of complementary medical therapies in cancer treatment. The current course schedule is available at the email address below.

Second Track Oncology
The integrated iMED model program at the Hamburg Medical School offers a range of elective courses (elective curriculum/second tracks) based on the research and clinical focus areas of the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, enabling students to deepen their medical interests and thus develop their profile while still studying.
During an orientation phase lasting four semesters, students have the opportunity to familiarize themselves with various elective modules. They then choose a subfield of medicine for the second part of the elective curriculum, the specialization phase, which they pursue until the 9th or 10th semester. In addition to other elective subjects, the so-called “Second Track Oncology” is offered, in which experts from the UCC Hamburg clinics and institutes teach students the basics of cancer diagnosis and treatment as well as clinical and experimental oncological research.

ONCOlleg empowers people with cancer and their relatives to actively participate in shaping research, care, and health structures as patient ambassadors. During the approximately six-month training program, you will gain clear insights into the medical and organizational fundamentals of oncology.
Afterward, you can become part of the ambassador community and actively participate in research projects.
Training program for caregivers of people with incurable illnesses
The training program for caregivers, “Strong by their side – Knowledge & tips for caregivers,” covers a wide range of issues that caregivers of seriously ill and/or terminally ill people may encounter. In regular training sessions, you can receive support and help to help yourself. Together with other relatives, you will be informed, trained, and advised on six topics (modules) by respective experts in palliative medicine.
