All medical students are required to undertake the clinical internship in the hospital wards
under the supervision of the clinical tutor or other clinician who is responsible for the
internship. The students make the ward rounds daily, they make daily medical notes,
write case histories of newly admitted patients, read and assess X-rays, ECGs and other
laboratory findings with their supervisor and at the same time they acquaint themselves
with other medical records and work in the hospital ward.
Practical clinical work (under tutorial guidance nad support) includes taking various
biological samples for laboratory testing, administration of subcutaneous, intramuscular,
intravenous injections and transfusions. The students take responsible part in therapeutic
procedures and physical examinations such as pleural, abdominal and sternal punction in
monitored patients (or in other cases interesting from the diagnostic view), USG, X-ray,
ECG, bicycle ergometry, pulmonary function examination, endoscopy, and autopsy in the
case of death.
According to hospital possibilities the clinical internship requires 1-2 days of laboratory
work to perform in order to become familiar with available basic diagnostic techniques
such as doing urine tests, blood counts and blood smears. In more common internal
diseases sternal biopsies are demonstrated to students.

The subject offers a comprehensive view on the various types and causes of health damage that every doctor might encounter during clinical practice. Unlike clinically oriented subjects that are focusing on pathological conditions in terms of their etiology, diagnosis and treatment, this elective course focuses rather on the assessment of specific health damage such as one resulting from a criminal offence, accident or medical malpractice. Topics regarding epidemics, pandemics and bioterrorism also deal with specific approach of health professionals and altered conditions for provision of health care, especially in terms of protection of own health.

Laboratory diagnostics is an everyday part of the practice of both general practitioners and specialists. In addition to the basic approaches in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases, there are also laboratory examinations of body fluids, the analysis of which the graduate of the course should be able to handle. In recent years, many new analytes and approaches have emerged in the field of laboratory diagnostic procedures, not only in the field of molecular biological or proteomic techniques, with which students will be acquainted. The graduate knows the current laboratory methods and their use in clinical diagnostics at the theoretical and practical level, including changes and adjustments to recommended procedures, reference intervals and methods used.
Materials prepared by the teacher.
Students are required to attend classes according to the schedule. Active participation is required. Students are not allowed to have more than 2 absences during the semester. Students are expected to be on time to class. In case of late arrivals which happen more than 3 times, students are given an absence. There are 2 continuous oral assessments (weeks 7 and 13). The result of each continuous assessment must be at least 60%. Students are given an opportunity to retake the continuous assessment in the last week of the semester (week 14). Students with a result lower than 60% in the summer semester are not allowed to register for the final exam, i.e., their final grade is FX. The final assessment is based on the result of the final oral exam. Grading scale: A 100-91%, B 90-84%, C 83-75%, D 74-68%, E 67-60%, FX 59% and less.
