Semester IID includes: Obstetrics/gynaecology, pediatrics, child psychiatry, nephrology, urology, endocrinology, and radiology/imaging.

In both IIC and IID, the teaching is organised in thematic weeks. Lectures, clinics, seminars and courses are given on Mondays and Fridays (and also Tuesdays in IID), while clinical teaching and PBL (problem based learning) are given the rest of the week throughout the semester. In addition to the respective clinical departments, other departments and institutes are also integrated in the teaching, including courses in pathology, genetics and clinical decision making.

All students (from IIc and IID) will, during autumn in the 4th year, chose their theme for their main thesis, get a supervisor and deliver a protocol before November 15th. See also semester IIIA.

There are several learning objectives related to the semester subjects. These objectives are printed in the handbook for this line of study.
