Topic

Second-year medical students in Hungarian, German, and English Programs who have already completed their Anatomy-1 course are eligible to participate in the Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) course of the Institute of Anatomy. This course is run in cooperation with experienced anatomists and clinicians from UK, Croatia, Czechia, and Hungary, who present clinical cases to the students with anatomical viewpoints (Clinical Anatomy Lecture Series).

Each year the course features different lecturers and topics, but with the participation of lecturers and students from the same partner universities. Our special partner is the University of Cambridge, one of the best medical universities in the world. Each university fully organises and livestreams a double lecture and provides their students' participation in all the online lectures.

The live online lectures may be video-recorded, including questions from students.
The course emphasises the development of a Western-style holistic approach to healing in medical students. Of particular importance are macroscopic anatomical knowledge (structure, function), anatomical skills (reliable and accurate two- and three-dimensional orientation in and about the human body), and professional communication attitudes (with colleagues, patients, relatives) on common medical issues related to the structure and function of the human body. This course develops all these knowledge, skills, and professional attitudes in the context of their real clinical relevance, with expert lecturers in a modern, medically, and pedagogically organised international educational environment.
