The primary purpose of the subject is to teach students to take an English-speaking patient's medical history and to expand the students' knowledge of lay and technical medical terminology. Using specialized medical histories as a base, the subject will also aid the students' general language competences, mainly in the areas of grammar and syntax. |

Winter Term - Credit: - completing e-learning tasks on the Moodle platform (4 in the winter term; deadline June 30, 2024) including the submission of a written assignment In case students do not meet the mandatory attendance, they will have to take a test at the faculty. The test covers specialized medical terminology, syntax, and grammar (passing score 70%). The remaining credit requirements still have to be met. The winter term lexical list is available on the Moodle platform. Summer Term - Credit: - active participation (2 absences maximum) - completing e-learning tasks on the Moodle platform (2 in the summer term; deadline June 30, 2024) - giving a presentation on a specialized medical topic (8-12 minutes) In case students do not meet the mandatory attendance, they will have to take a test at the faculty (passing score 70%). The remaining credit requirements still have to be met (including giving the presentation). The summer term lexical list and presentation topics are available on the Moodle platform. Final Exam: Getting winter and summer term credit is a requirement to sign up for the final exam. The exam consists of two parts: test and an oral part. The test covers medical terminology (specialized and lay; see the lexical lists for the winter and summer terms), grammar, syntax, and reading comprehension (see the e-learning tasks). The passing score (to enter the oral part) is 70%. The oral part covers the ability to take and review an English-speaking patient's medical history. The final grade is a combination of the results of the test and the oral part (the proportion of the sections is 1:2 in favor of the oral part). The dates of the examinations will be posted in SIS - see EXAM DATES. For exact oral part times, see the course page in Moodle. C1-C2 Language Certificates:
These students must give their presentation in the winter term and take the test in the winter exam period. If they do not get both credits in the winter term, they will have to meet the summer term absence limit! Certificates accepted (including grades/scores): FCE: A CAE, CPE: A-C TOEFL iBT: 24-30 TOEFL Essentials: 10-12 IELTS: 7-9 IB diploma The final decision on accepting the materials is within the competence of the course guarantor (Václav Koutný).
