Summary of the Profile
General Description: Objective(s) of a study programme: A holder of the professional qualification of a medical doctor has acquired sufficient knowledge of the sciences on which medicine is based and a good understanding of scientific methods; sufficient understanding of the structure, functions and behaviour of healthy and sick persons, and of the relationship between the human health and the person’s physical and social environment; and sufficient knowledge of clinical disciplines and practices. Learning outcomes: A medical doctor possesses basic skills in using main clinical methods, including obtaining and writing a detailed medical history, performing physical examination and assessing mental status of a patient; is able to interpret the patient’s case history results, and the results of physical examination, and of instrumental and laboratory tests; to make a preliminary assessment of the patient’s problems, and to determine a diagnosis, and testing and treatment plans; possesses skills of basic clinical procedures, including basic and advanced resuscitation, venipuncture, etc.; possesses communication and professional ethic skills, and ICT and research skills. Activities of teaching and learning: Innovative learning methods are used in the studies of medicine and focus on training students’ creativity, and general and specific competences. Students acquire theoretical knowledge during lectures, seminars, practice, analysis of clinical cases, and authentic clinical situations. Practical skills are trained in simulation classrooms and during practical training under the supervision of lecturers of the programme. Internships take place at the University’s clinical facilities. Methods of assessment of learning achievements: A cumulative assessment method (oral and written test, presentations, case studies, projects [individual and group], reports, discussions, critical review of scientific publications, etc.) are used; tasks performed during the semester or the knowledge and skills acquired during the semester are assessed. Each course ends with an examination or a final test. Examinations are written or written and
oral. A 10-point scoring system (1 being very poor and 10 being excellent) is used. It is important that the assessment is objective and professionally carried out, taking into account the knowledge gained about assessment and examination. The assessment is based on the Learning Achievements Assessment Procedure approved by Vilnius University. Framework: Study subjects (modules), practical training: The scope of the Medicine Study Programme is 360 credits. The student workload totals 9,600 hours, of which 6,188 are contact hours (64.5%) and 3,412 hours of self-study (35.5%). (35) The Medicine Study Programme consists of the following courses: subject specific (major) courses of which 31% are the courses on the fundamentals of biomedical sciences, and 58% are clinical courses and practical training. Core courses account for 11%. Of these, 12 credits are for elective courses. These credits can be earned in the first four semesters. The courses and their number are planned to accomplish the programme objectives best. Specialisations: - Optional courses: A total of 15 credits in the Medicine Study Programme are allocated to individualised study courses (modules) (IS). These are studies independently selected by a student in the first-cycle or an integrated study programme, which are an integral part of the study programme, unless this is restricted by other legal acts of the Republic of Lithuania and/or international legislation. The student is also free to choose the desired Clinical Practice (semester 8) and one elective cycle during the Internship Distinctive features of a study programme: The Medicine Study Programme features an excellent combination of the University’s well-established traditions and modern study and research methods and achievements. Students work in small groups, get early contact with patients and have the opportunity to learn practical skills in simulation classrooms. There is an opportunity to study programme courses not only at the faculty’s departments, but also at other divisions of the university (e.g. the Faculty of Chemistry, the Faculty of Physics, the Faculty of Natural Sciences, etc.) with highly qualified academic staff. Access to professional activity or further study: Access to professional activity:
Graduates can work in pharmaceutical and medical equipment commercial structures, but must complete further studies to be able to engage in medical practice independently. Access to further study: Students have the right to enrol in the third cycle (residency) of studies in accordance with the legal acts of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Lithuania and other legal acts of the Republic of Lithuania.
