Students in the lecture hall; Copyright: Karin Kaiser / MHH MHH admits 18 students via advance quota - Applications open in March via Lower Saxony's special-purpose association for the granting of approbation (NiZzA) 08. For the upcoming winter semester 2023/24, those interested in medical school places in Lower Saxony can apply for the first time via a "rural doctor quota," including for the HannibaL model course at Hannover Medical School (MHH). Statewide, 60 study places have been reserved. All three medical faculties in Lower Saxony are accepting students via the preliminary quota, and the MHH is making 18 study places available. With the implementation of the "Law for the Improvement of Area-wide Care in Lower Saxony", the state government intends to attract more motivated young physicians to work in rural regions in the future. Applicants for the "rural doctor quota" commit themselves to working as a family doctor in an underserved region for ten years after completing their studies.
