The clinical traineeship for medical students in Germany lasts four months, two months of which must be completed in the form of a practical activity in a hospital or, since 2012, in an inpatient rehabilitation facility, one month in a doctor's practice or outpatient facility and, since the state examination in 2015, in a family doctor's practice . Before that, there was the option of an elective clinical traineeship , which was completed either in a hospital or in an outpatient facility. The clinical internship is to be completed between the first and second section of the medical examination .

Clinical traineeships in the outpatient department of a clinic, polyclinic or emergency room can be recognized as clinical traineeships in outpatient health care. Depending on the university and federal state, there is also the possibility of having an internship recognized in certain clinical-theoretical university institutes (e.g. forensic medicine , pathology , pharmacology or microbiology ) as the equivalent of an internship or an elective.

Internships can also be subdivided, whereby the smallest internship segment must have a certain minimum duration depending on the federal state . This is z. B. in Schleswig-Holstein and Baden-Württemberg 14 days, in Hesse, however, only 5 clinical elections can be completed, so only 2 clinical elections can last less than 30 days.

The license to practice medicine also prescribes an internship for pharmacy students, which lasts four weeks twice and must be completed between the start of the course and the first state examination. The clinical internship serves to familiarize the student with pharmaceutical activities. Secondly, he should also get to know the organization, the operational processes, the legal regulations for pharmacies and the technical terminology.

At least four weeks must be completed under the guidance and responsibility of a pharmacist in a public pharmacy , the remaining four weeks can also be carried out in a hospital pharmacy , in a Bundeswehr pharmacy, in the pharmaceutical industry or at an official drug testing center. An internship in another European country is also possible. Pharmaceutical technicians , pharmaceutical engineers , pharmacy assistants and pharmacists assistants are exempt from a clerkship.
