Course content
The content of the course is an introduction to surgery, creating a basic volume of theoretical knowledge of general surgery (surgical propedeutics, acute abdomen) and individual surgical specialties (abdominal, thoracic, vascular, plastic surgery, traumatology, cardiac surgery). Each day of the block the internship consists of a practical exercise and a thematic seminar. The practical training includes examination of a patient in the inpatient ward, stay in the outpatient clinic or in the operating room. The practical exercises also include practice of surgical technique on a phantom. The practical training includes the analysis of case reports with the teachers. Participation in emergency services is an integral part of the practical training. In a follow-up seminar, specific topics of each area of surgery are discussed by means of a presentation and subsequent discussion.
