The DDK Workshop for Internal Medicine took place for the seventh time on November 19, 2022. The event provided an opportunity for third- and fourth-year students to practise physical examination. Physical examination is not only vital for the students' upcoming exams, but also an essential part of hospital practices.
The workshop was open to the students of all the three language programs. Eventually, 109 third- and fourth-year students participated: 35 Hungarian, 43 German and 31 English program students.
The event took place on Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., in 2.5-hour shifts, in three rooms, in three languages, and in small groups. Each shift began with a short theoretical summary, followed by a presentation of the entire physical examination for the entire group. Afterwards, the students practised in small groups of a maximum of 3.
The feedback was extremely positive, according to the participants, it is necessary to continue to organize the Internal Medicine workshop in the future. For many, practising a complete physical examination was a great help before the upcoming exam period. It was suggested that in the future the workshop could cover a longer period of time.
In addition to the demonstrator students, some former demonstrators, who are practising doctors now also took part in the event.
