Autumn Assembly of the Circle of Demonstrator Students

10 December 2021

The Circle of Demonstrator Students (CDS) regular autumn assembly was held on the 10th of November in the Dean’s conference room at the Faculty of Medicine. It was an in-person meeting with compliance to precautionary measures.

The meeting began with a greeting of Dr. Andrea Tamás, the head of the CDS, followed by Dr. László Czopf, the deputy dean of education, who gave a summary of the current events and the requirements of the ‘demonstrator activity 1-8’ courses.

Since the launch of the CDS programme in 2015, 604 students have joined the organization. In recent years, more than a hundred demonstrators have been working as demonstrator students in various institutes and clinical departments per semester, and new institutes are joining to work with demonstrator students every year. This semester, the number of registered students has already exceeded 200.

After the insightful summary provided by the deputy dean, Dr. Judit Sebők, chief clinical physician, and Dr. Gergő Molnár, associate professor, from the 2nd Department of Internal Medicine, gave a presentation describing their experience in the second course of clinical demonstrator training and the role of the demonstrators in the internal medicine propaedeutic education during the epidemic.

The work of the demonstrators has undergone a significant transformation in the previous, as well as in the current semester due to the transition into hybrid education. A number of new initiatives have been launched by our demonstrators and the mentors who helped them. One such example is the first ‘Bridge the Gap’ clinical skills workshop, which was presented by Krisztina Fekete, one of the organizers of the workshop. A lecture was presented about the possibilities offered by the inSIMU interactive patient simulation program by Dr. Gabriella Hild, assistant professor at the Department of Languages for Biomedical Purposes and Communication, and it was possible to try the software with her help.

Dr Kristof Filipánits, Secretary of the CDS, helped in the organization of the assembly and providing the technical background.
