In case of a higher number of absences, the situation will be resolved individually with the Head of the Department of Internal Medicine.
Credit Credit will be awarded based on successful completion of all the tests before the seminars (History taking in patients with respiratory diseases, History taking in patients with cardiac disorders, History taking in hepatogastroenterology, Rheumatology: case presentation, Physical examination in cardiology, Physical examination in pneumology, General assessment of the patient) - required success rate 70 %. Not completing all the tests before the seminar will be a reason for not receiving a credit.
Exam Theoretical part: The theoretical part of the exam will assess knowledge of the symptoms of internal diseases, principles of physical examination and clinical cases of the most common internal diseases. First and second attempt: Test in Moodle, grade: ≥ 90 % excellent, ≥ 80 % very good, ≥ 70 % good. Third attempt: commissional oral exam . During any credit or examination test at the Department of Internal Medicine, the following practices are not allowed: · To use the dedicated tablets in other mode than the Moodle test application. · To use Moodle otherwise than for the given test.
