Information about Introduction to Clinical Medicine – Internal part

The subject is composed from theoretical lectures organized together with pediatric department and clinical practical training.

Clinical practical trainings start every week with short seminar held mostly in library of Internal Clinic (Floor 4D).

Practicals are run on wards of Internal Clinic.

The exam period will take place from 20th of January

till 23rd February when dates for credit tests for all students will be posted in SIS. The test has 20 questions, the answers are in the form of a choice

and more than 75% of the answers must be correct, i.e. there must be more than 15 points from the test for the test to be evaluated as correct.

The summer semester will be closed with oral exam, dates will be posted in SIS as well.

To the exam, the student will bring with him/her: the attendance record from the pediatric part of the class, a prepared sample medical record from the internal and pediatric part. Without supporting these documents, the student will not be admitted to the exam (they are a condition for credit, so you cannot take the exam without a credit).

Students must successfully complete all tests on MOODLU. If missed, an essay on the topic is required, and if 2 or more are missed in the winter semester an oral examination is required.

 

Start of lectures and practicals is specified in time schedule.

Students may check which meeting room/ward is assigned to their class:

SIS

on a noticeboard on the floor 4D (in front of the secretariat of Internal Clinic) 

All practical classes and seminars are compulsory and the attendance is checked. The lectures are optional but you are requested to attend them if possible. The student is allowed to miss up to 4 practical classes and seminars during the semester, but there is necessary to replace them (about substitution talk to your teacher during practicals).

The winter semester will be closed by credit, the summer semester by credit and oral examination.

For obtaining credit of winter semester the student must fulfil following criteria:

to complete attendance at practicals and seminars, replace all missed

group teachers check the student´s ability of providing the physical examination

group teachers / their tutors check the knowledge of theory

For obtaining the credit of summer semester the student must fulfil following criteria:

to complete attendance at practicals and seminars, replace all missed

bring attendance sheet from pediatric part

group teachers check the student´s ability of providing the physical examination

to complete 1 case study report from internal and 1 from pediatric part

Examination: the terms for examination will be available in SIS during first weeks of the summer semester and the examination will take place after finishing the practicals
