| Course content |
|
Practical training preceding the internal medicine state examination aims at extending theoretical knowledge and acquiring other practical skills in undergraduate internal medicine. During their practical training, students will mainly perform activities in fact equal to duties of a house physician, with special attention being paid to bedside work supervised by an experienced physician. Under the physician's supervision, students have to be able to elaborate clinical notes, draw a diagnostic conclusion, propose further diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, and write a discharge report. During a ward round, students have to report on the clinical course of a patient's disease. Each student should spend at least one day at an ICU of the respective department in order to become acquainted with principles of work in the unit (regardless of the ICU specialty). Each student should spend at least one day at an outpatient ward of the respective department of internal medicine in order to become familiar with the principles of work in outpatient wards (regardless of the ward specialty). Students will participate in other examinations of patients they care for or other patients as recommended by the supervising physician. The obligatory examinations are listed on the back side of the aforementioned form. For meeting all the requirements, each student's activities mentioned in the final evaluation are important.

Student performance
On the first day at their "home" departments, students will receive a form called "Practical training in internal medicine". This will be used for written assessments, records on the length of training, special training at selected departments, participation in seminars and active or passive participation of students in procedures. At the end of week 10, students having their training in the University Hospital Olomouc will obtain an entry (course unit credit) into their student's books by teachers in charge of their training at Dept. of Internal Medicine I, II or III, after they hand in the filled-in "Practical training in internal medicine" form. The forms will be archived in the students' files. Similarly, students having their training in the University Hospital Ostrava will obtain the course unit credit from the head of the internal department after handing in the filled-in "Practical training in internal medicine" form. The form will then be sent to the respective ("home") department of internal medicine in Olomouc where the student will sit for the state examination. The course unit credit may be entered into the student's book (index) no later than on the day of the practical part of the state examination. |
