Welcome reception

Are you about to start an internship in our hospital?

We will organise a reception event for you on your first internship day. At this event, you will be given some practical info and there is an opportunity to ask questions. We expect you on your first internship day at 8.30am

in Maria Middelares General Hospital in the Meetings Centre. This building is located at the front of the campus, i.e. not in the hospital itself.
in St Vincent General Hospital in Deinze in Hall 1. You will find it on the fourth floor via route 79.

Please note that reception events are not scheduled on every Monday. You can find the different dates on the registration form.

Register your application well in advance (ideally as soon as you know your dates and internship location) with the button below. Reception events always take place on Monday morning on the first internship day. If you start your internship on a different weekday or on a Monday when there is no scheduled event, you are free to join on another Monday of your choice.

I am registering for the reception event at St Vincent General Hospital in Deinze

Are you coming for a second, third, fourth internship in our hospital and have you already attended the reception event? Please register again for the reception event for each internship and indicate that you have already attended the reception event. These students may go directly to the department on their first day of internship after contacting the internship master/head nurse/head of medical discipline/department/unit.

For questions concerning badges, login,... you are welcome at the general reception event on Monday morning at 8.30am. Then we get to work for you. We prepare the administrative side of your internship, reactivate your badge and provide any new logins, e-learning courses etc.

Please note: You can only start your internship once the administrative side has been completed, i.e. you are registered for your internship, you have completed the e-learning courses and you have a personal badge. Every Monday evening, registrations are closed for the reception event on the following Monday. If you register afterwards, we cannot guarantee that everything can still be arranged in time for your first internship day.

If you have any questions, please contact studenten@mijnziekenhuis.be.

Internship guides

Each department has its own information leaflets. They introduce you to your department/unit. They contain a lot of information: contact details, possible learning objectives, common pathologies and so on. Read them before the start of your internship.

Risk analysis and workstation sheets

Be sure to check out the workstation sheets and risk factors of the department where you will complete your internship. A personally signed workstation sheet from your internship department is a strict condition for starting the internship in our hospital. You keep your workstation sheet in your internship bundle/folder and must be able to present it at all times. There will be targeted checks to see if this document in the folder. In the absence of this document, the internship will be terminated immediately.

Badges and dosimeters

Interns/students need an identification badge to obtain access to certain parts of the hospital and/or IT applications. Badge rules are explained to students during the welcome reception.

A dosimeter is required if you are an intern in the A&E department, the operating theatre or the medical imaging (radiology) department. Request one by using the button below.
