Annotation
Dear colleagues, following the adoption of a crisis measure restricting any form of presence teaching, including examinations, the examination in propaedeutics is also canceled until further notice. The new schedule with dates will be announced after the crisis measures have been released, sufficient ammount fo slots will be opened. You will be informed about this in due time.
Existing dates remain, although it is likely that they will not be able to be implemented given the duration of the crisis measures.
I understand that the situation is difficult for you, but believe that it is our priority that all those who have the credit are able to take the exam this academic year.
We will keep you informed about the situation.
Sincerely,
Jan Gojdaa
!!! Notice !!!
Teaching and examinations during the course of frontal study interruption (MH 10.3.).
The remaining practices will be replaced by self-study. For this purpose, presentations from last topics (general laboratory examinations, basic clinical evaluation of findings on heart, lung and abdomen X-ray, ECG) will be uploaded to the vyuka portal in the near future. Each assistant, after consultation with his or her group, can provide an online consultation at the time of the last planned practice. Students will arrange these individually with their assistants.
Credit (originally intended to be a patient examination and a medical record writing) will be replaced by a case report. The scope and assignment will be provided to students by their assistant in the near future. After granting the credit it is possible to apply for the exam, the dates will be scheduled from the second week of April.
The examination will take place as planned and scheduled in SIS. Students will come to the secretariat of the 2nd dept. of Medicine, after checking all documents will be divided into individual clinics to the examiners. The practical part, which consists of demonstrating the skills of physical examination, will be carried out by students examining each other (originally students should demonstrate skills on patients). This is subject to their oral consent. In case of disagreement or other worthy consideration, it will be up to each examiner to verify the practical skills. Theoretical exam will be standard.
