This course was surprisingly demanding, as our assistants expected active participation and a broad range of knowledge. However, don't worry, it is nothing to be afraid of. The course included lectures and five days of classes at a healthcare center near the Jurowiecka mall (ul. Fabryczna 27, Building A).
Classes began at 8 am with students attending the doctors' meeting in the seminar room. After their meeting, there was a seminar, followed by the assistants picking up their groups for classes in the hospital - often visiting the patients they discussed during the meeting. During the seminar and also during the classes our teacher always asked some questions to check if we were prepared.
The course concluded with a different test for each group. Our case, we had an 10 single-choice question test. Ultimately, we have to say that this course was surprisingly thorough for its short duration.
The credit test consisted of 10 single-choice questions about different cases in geriatrics. Enough time was given to finish the test. We started writing after the morning meeting finished and discussed it with our assistants afterwards.
The test was corrected and in case of failure, oral discussion with the assistant followed – which saved one or the other student from further retakes.
So far, we don't know any student that ultimately failed the course.
Credit is achieved by passing the credit test.
