The master's degree does not lead to an officially recognized health specialization. As medicine is a legally regulated profession, students with an official or officially recognized qualification are already authorized to work in the health specialization with which they are admitted.
The master's degree enables students to develop advanced medical skills in their field of knowledge, and to gain the admission requirements for the corresponding doctoral program.
