Jena, July 14, 2026 – The Department of Pediatric Radiology at the Jena University Hospital (UKJ) has been successfully re-certified as a pediatric ultrasound training center. This ensures the long-term quality of training for prospective medical professionals at the site.
- Event: Re-certification as a pediatric ultrasound training center
- Institution: Department of Pediatric Radiology at the Jena University Hospital (UKJ)
- Certifying body: German Society for Ultrasound in Medicine (DGUM)
- Special feature: Only seven such centers exist nationwide
High training quality confirmed at UKJ
The re-certification by the German Society for Ultrasound in Medicine (DGUM) is a rare distinction. Across Germany, only seven clinics currently hold this demanding quality seal. For the UKJ, this confirms its excellent, standardized training concept.
During a three-month rotation in pediatric radiology, prospective pediatricians systematically learn the application of ultrasound diagnostics. Under the direct guidance of experienced specialists, they perform examinations themselves and learn to evaluate findings precisely. This structured approach ensures consistently high quality standards in patient care, which directly benefits families in Jena’s urban life. The certification is valid for three years and requires state-of-the-art technology.
🏛️ The supra-regional importance of the UKJ
As the only university hospital in the Free State of Thuringia, the UKJ plays a key role in medical education and research. Awards such as the DGUM seal demonstrate the supra-regional influence of the site and guarantee training at the highest scientific and practical level.
