General Medicine Course

Theoretical and Preclinical Teaching (first to third year)

From the very first year, you will learn a number of practical skills and meet patients.

In the first three years of study, the leading medical line is where you will learn about the structure and functioning of the human organism (subjects Cell, Anatomy, Histology and Embryology, Biology, Physiology and Biochemistry) as well as the pathogenesis and manifestations of diseases (Pathology, Pathophysiology, Microbiology and Immunology).

Our curriculum resembles a tree it has broad roots, a solid common trunk in the first three years, and a richly branched and colourful crown of clinical study in years 4 to 6.

In addition to learning first aid in the subject of Nursing, you will also learn to perform basic nursing procedures (application of injections, cannulation, bladder catheterization, etc.) and provide information to patients and their loved ones. You will develop these skills during internships and in a GP’s office. In the subject of Professional Communication, you will practice strategies of communication with patients in a modern and entertaining way.

In the subject of Bioethics and Psychology, you will learn to formulate opinions, learn the basics of psychology and psychosomatics and solve ethically controversial topics. Informatics and Biostatistics will get you acquainted with information sources and databases, Methodology of Science and Bioinformatics will introduce the principles of scientific work to you, and in the course of Epidemiology and EBM (evidence-based medicine), you will focus on the principles of evidence-based medicine, epidemiology and biostatistics (bioinformatics line).

Clinical teaching (fourth to sixth year)

The last three years of your studies will comprehensively prepare you for clinical practice. The teaching will transform into a block-schedule teaching: you will gradually work as an intern in all the basic clinical and diagnostic disciplines and you will focus mainly on specific clinical situations (problem-based learning) and specific patients (case-based learning) with an emphasis on team learning. The lessons will also involve modern procedures of simulation medicine.
