Assessment methods and criteria
Mark, Oral exam

The content of the practical exercise is the elaboration of a complete medical record, including anamnesis, design of a diagnostic and treatment plan. The practice also includes a written description of the EKG curve or X-ray image. The practical exercise is divided into an individual part devoted to the processing of the above documents and a part devoted to the analysis of patients with the teacher and associated with the control of findings presented by the student. Participation in the practical exercise is recognized only on the basis of meeting the above prerequisites and an active approach in the analysis of the patient. Within the practical exercise, it is possible to use professional literature - but not to make an extract from the official medical record. The condition for granting the credit is active completion of a given number of practical exercises in a given block. Missing practice can be completed in justified cases (illness, exam) after agreement with the teaching doctor during a further block in due time. Part of each practical exercise is a check of the findings as well as a check of the student's skills and knowledge. During the practical part of the exam, the student's ability to take the anamnesis, perform a physical examination of the patient in full, as well as the elaboration of a medical record, a working diagnostic conclusion and a plan of examination and treatment procedure is verified. Part of the test is also the evaluation of the description of the ECG curve and the image taken by conventional radiological techniques, or some other imaging method (CT, MRI). Clinical scenario simulators in Cent Centessimo are also used to verify practical skills. Absence from the lessons the has to be apologized to the tutor. From 28 seminars one day of absence is tolerated in the case of serious personal matter, two days of absence are tolerated in the case of illness. Longer absence has to be substituted upon an appointment with the tutor (vice tutor). The substitution can contain the work at the department as well as the elaboration of the seminar. It´s strongly recommended to resolve the longer and expected absence as soon as possible.
