Briefing

This course lasts one semester and ends with a final exam. The course existed of lectures, seminars and classes, and had an oral assement at the end of each week to pass the classes.

Lectures were held in the winter semester, live on Blackboard. No attendance.

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. 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.

Nota bene

The lectures and notes were not enough to prepare for the exam – even if you did well in daily classes and oral tests. Top students said that it was a difficult exam overall, and you may have to go into the books and beyond the scope of the course if you want to score well.
