Conditions for acceptance of the semester

The students should arrive at least 5 minutes before the start of the practice. Lateness is not accepted, it is considered as an absence. Max 2 certified absences are accepted. Protective clothing (white coat, and changed shoes) is mandatory. Personal hygiene must be evident.

Mid-term exams

Attending to the lectures and practices is obligatory. 15% absence is accepted, but must be certified. The practical performance of an unprepared student is not accepted. In case of theoretical deficiencies or negligence experienced during the simulated treatment, the practice leader may deny the acceptance of the task performance. The semester acceptance is affected by the repeated occurrence of these events. Treatments will be qualified and the results of the qualification (accepted/unaccepted) will influence the semester's acceptance. Three unaccepted performances entails the denial of the semester.
