Clinical Block-Practice 3

Data

Official data in SubjectManager for the following academic year: 2024-2025

Topic

The subject provides possibilities for clinical practice - bedside practice, laboratory practice and practice at outpatient care – between semester 7 and 12 for students of General Medicine with the involvement of Teaching Hospitals and UP Clinical Wards during Clinical module, in line with Hungarian and international trends and expectations.

In connection with the studies a two-week practice can be done during the instruction period of each semester except for its last 2 weeks, maximum four times (Clinical Block-Practice I.-IV). The practice can be done at the same location or at two different locations for each week within a semester. If someone is doing the course several times, it is up to the students if they choose a different location or the same location from previous semesters. During the practice, besides taking of case history and physical examination of the patient and analyzing the results of special examinations, students participate in medical meetings, ward-rounds, consultations about patients and they also assist in diagnostic, operative, interventional procedures. Location for the practice can be chosen based on the students’ preference and on the capacity of the accepting institutions for the given period. The practice can be done any time during instruction period except for its last 2 weeks, but not in the examination period. In the first 2 weeks of the Instruction period, we do not recommend completing the practice, due to the tasks at the beginning of the semester and the orientation consultation.

During rotational year the practice can be done any time, there is no distinction of instruction period and exam period. However, the duration of professional practice in the rotational year cannot be reduced with this course, the student must choose a different practice from professional practice.

The amount of absences in other subjects should be reduced by maximum 14,3% each semester on the basis of the Certificate of Fulfillment of Clinical Block-Practice relating to the given period. The dates of the practice should be chosen in a way that in the case of not evenly distributed subjects, absences due to the Clinical Block-Practice may not exceed the maximum allowed as mentioned above.

During rotational year no absences from regular practices can be allowed due to the Clinical Block-Practice attendance.

 

The practice can be done in divisions and laboratories of the following fields: surgery, vascular surgery, thoracic surgery, cardiac surgery, neurosurgery, traumatology, transplant surgery, intensive therapy, anaesthesiology, emergency department, ophthalmology, obstetrics and gynecology, urology, otorhinolaryngology, orthopedics, pediatric surgery, dermatology, oral surgery,  angiology, metabolism, internal medicine, diabetology, endocrinology, immunology, cardiology, nephrology, oncology, pulmonology, tropical diseases, geriatrics, infectology, gastroenterology, hematology, radiology, diagnostic nuclear medicine, neurology, psychiatry, pediatrics, rheumatology, laboratory medicine, microbiology, pathology, family medicine, laboratory genetics, forensic medicine. Based on individual validation further areas can also be targeted.

 

At least 30 hours and 4 days of practice during usual working hours should be certified in order to have an approved practice. Night duties, on site public/bank holidays, scientific work cannot be accepted as part of the practice.

 

The permission of practice can be asked by filling out and submitting an “Acceptance Letter” to the course leader by the end of the 4^th week of instruction period and a week before the planned start of your practice the latest (way of submitting: sending it electronically to kovacs.eva5@pte.hu).

 

Upon successful completion of practice, certificate signed and stamped by the practice leader must be obtained from the head of the department/ward/unit with their legible name on the last day of practice with the stamp of the institution. The certificate should be sent electronically to kovacs.eva5@pte.hu in a pdf format together with the case studies, in one file, directly after the practice, but until Monday on the last but one week of the instruction period the latest. The deadline is also valid for rotational year students.

If needed, the certificate must be sent to all the other subject leaders electronically by the penultimate week Wednesday of the instruction period the latest for the appropriate correction of absences. 

Practice can be spent in a foreign country, at an accredited medicine ward in a University Hospital, in a Teaching Hospital or County Hospital with 24-hour patient admission. The student is required to have a language certificate of the host country, or to speak the local language on a basic level and have a B2 English language certificate.
