Study Plan of General Medicine

Dear Erasmus student,

in view of considerable differences between organization of medical education between European universities, it is highly desirable to specify your study needs for your planned visit as detailed as possible.
Please note, that our Faculty applies a more traditional teaching of basic clinical subjects as large units. These courses extend for several years and are finished by state rigorous examination in the sixth study year. Before that, only classified credits are required from our students. This arrangement applies particularly for subjects of General Medicine (Interní lékařství) and Surgery (Chirurgie). These big subjects had been divided into more self-standing courses closed by examination (eg. Gastroenterology, Endocrinology etc.) at many medical schools across Europe. At our Medical School these particularities are taught as integral part of the whole, during the last three years of medical studies.
If you are in need of the separate examinations of these ‘under-subjects’, our staff is ready to give you helping hand, but it is advisable to negotiate exact conditions in advance.
 
You will find relevant information about our teaching schedules at the web page:
www.lf2.cuni.cz/en/news and
www.lf2.cuni.cz/en/faculty/institutes-clinics – here you should choose the department and syllabus is under its heading.
 
You should find out part of study subject which corresponds most closely to subjects at your home university and specify it in the learning program. In case of doubt do not hesitate to contact departmental Erasmus coordinator in Prague.

For the subject of General Medicine, our Faculty can offer special courses, you can choose from. When elaborating your learning program, please note, that it is possible to combine subjects from different study years, but you have to consider, that time collision between different subjects can occur. For this reason, we cannot guarantee all theoretically possible subjects combinations.
You can incorporate into your Learning Agreement individual topics as mentioned in the following table, OR whole General Medicine subjects of one year, as stated in the table.
Unfortunately, the exact time schedule is not known at the time, you have to send your Application. Therefore, the final tune-up of your study program had to be made upon your arrival or shortly before. We reserve the right for changes of the Learning agreement according the final Study schedule in the respective year.
