This can be done Monday to Friday between 8am and 12 noon without an appointment. The check-up will also be done here even if you are completing your PJ in one of the RWTH Aachen external teaching hospitals.

Please reserve at least an hour for your PJ check-up.

Please understand that we can neither perform additional comprehensive blood tests nor can we provide extensive travel related medical advising for abroad components of the practical year.
