Continuous assessment without a final exam.
Final Grade Calculation Formula
The final grade is calculated based on the following criteria:
- Clinical practice assessment, taking into account attendance and punctuality, familiarity with the procedure, quality and quantity of faculty support required, level of clinical procedure, correct evaluation of the clinical outcome, and adherence to the clinical protocol ensuring patient safety – 70%
- Assessment of patient treatment reports – 15%
- Assessment of participation in monthly case discussion sessions – 15%
Assessment during the regular, resit, grade improvement, and special examination periods includes a theoretical test, a pre-clinical practical test, and an oral exam.
