Activities of teaching and learning:
Teaching methods are student-oriented, students are encouraged to be active participants of the study process.
By applying the problem-based learning model, studies are based on logical thinking, understanding, practical knowledge, independent research work, analysis of clinical cases, learning how to transmit information in a high-quality manner.
In the third year of studies, the basic knowledge and competences required for the final scientific work in the 4-6 courses are provided.
Traditional simulation training is used to teach hands-on skills, with an instructor working directly with a group of students, and for simple skills, students work independently with remote instructor/instructor supervision using a hybrid medical simulation program. The learning of practical skills (in clinical and simulation environments) is organised as separate units of the study program in the I, III, IV, V and VI years - a coherent and integrated skills learning program is formed, supplementing the training with new achievements, connecting general competencies (effective communication, situational awareness, leadership and decision-making, etc.) in order to develop certain specific clinical competencies. In addition to clinical skills, students get used to organize and plan the study process, be responsible for the intermediate assessment of colleagues, communicate effectively with each other, and solve practical problems.
From the first year, conditions have been created to get acquainted with the clinical environment, meet patients and gain clinical skills: observational practice in primary personal health care centers for first-year students, examination and counseling of patients, performing procedures during the 3th - 5th year internships, clinical medical practice (internship) in the 6th year.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
Assessment of student achievements is directly related to study results, by testing knowledge orally or in writing, and skills by direct observation in simulation classes or in the clinic.
Students are informed about the evaluation system at the beginning of studies of each study unit; the evaluation criteria and the formula for calculating of the final evaluation are presented in the description of the study unit and in the study information system.
Summative assessment is used, in some units- cumulative score system. The final evaluation of the knowledge of study unit is carried out in the form of a project defense or an exam.
