Subject Medical Psychology and Ethics is included into the programme of the third year of General Medicine Course. Beside the mandatory attendance in practical seminars, the condition for achieving the credit in the winter semester is the written work – a scientific essay in the field of medical psychology and/or ethics. A particular topic is the matter of students choice. In the summer semester, student cooses between the options to submit the second written work – essay or to participate at the scientific activity/survay . Meeting these conditions is necessary to obtain credit for the relevant semester. Lectures and practical seminars are elaborating topics according syllabus. Practical teaching is based on specific problems from the clinical medicine, e.g.informing, psychological quidance, counselling, communication with handicapped etc. During the practical training we use role playing, video feedback and small goups dynamics. Students are sharing their experiences from clinical training and from literature dealing with psychology and ethics topics. The goal of this teaching programme is the support of humanisation of medicine, sensibilisation of students to psychological and ethical aspects of clinical medicine and training of communication in specific situations of medical practice.
