This course lasts one semester and ends with a final exam. The course consisted of lectures, seminars and classes, and had an oral assessment at the end of each week to pass the classes.
Lectures were held in the winter semester, pre-recorded on Blackboard.
Seminars usually started at 08:00, in the department, and lasted from 45 minutes up to two-and-a-half hours. After, there was a short break and the assistant came to Block A to pick you up for classes or you would go meet them in a discussed place. The classes consisted of specialized discussions and patient history taking.
Some assistants may do oral exams with you after each week (so twice). The topics were different between the assistants; some assistants let you choose two subjects and talk about them, others required their groups to study all seminars.
The oral examination at the end of the second week was quite tough for some groups, so it depends on your teacher on how much you have to study. Some people failed the oral and had to retake it on another day.
According to the regulations the two weekly evaluations can either be performed "orally or in writing". Some assistants may do oral exams with you after each week (so twice during the course). The topics were different between the assistants; some assistants let you choose two subjects and talk about them, others required their groups to study all seminars. Other assistants may also include a practical part (patient history). Difficulty depends on the teacher.
The final exam consisted of 90 MCQ's, one correct answer. We got 90 minutes to write it and it was a good amount of time. 54 or 60 points were required to pass, check with the regulations.
Studying seminars and paying attention in classes will be enough to pass. Using older students material will help you too.
In 24/25 and 25/26, more than 90% passed first try.
