The oral examination ends the programme. Lectures and practice training (seminars) are elaborating topics according syllabus. Practice training is based on specific problems from the clinical medicine e.g. informing, psychological quidance, counselling, communication with handicapped etc. During practice 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 topics. The goal of this teaching programme is support of humanisation of medicine, sensibilisation of students to psychological aspects of clinical medicine and training of communication in specific situations of medical practice.
