University Outpatient Clinic

At the University Outpatient Clinic for General Medicine, we provide regular primary care. In particular, we offer counseling on preventive health care and the health effects of climate change (e.g., allergies, heat-related illnesses). Our regular services include laboratory and urine tests, ECGs, spirometry, and ultrasounds. We also provide care for patients with chronic conditions (similar to the DMP) and issue certificates of incapacity for work.

The University Outpatient Clinic for General Medicine is open to all patients who do not yet have a primary care physician or who would like a new point of contact for health-related questions.

Since a key focus of our work is the training of future physicians, we would like to inform you that medical students may be present at any time.

To fulfill our research mission, we regularly participate in or initiate studies. We would be happy to discuss with you in person whether you, as a patient, are eligible to participate in a study. Participation in these studies is always voluntary.

Important Note: Schedule an appointment through the University Hospital of Cologne patient portal

Starting May 19, appointments will be booked through our patient portal. The previous appointment scheduling service via Doctolib will no longer be available as of that date.
