Classes are conducted in the form of seminars and practical exercises, in a stationary or remote form using e-learning methods, in accordance with the current class schedule. Remote classes can be conducted synchronously (online connection of the student with the teacher) and asynchronously. Asynchronous classes are placed on the Medical University of Silesia e-learning platform. The teacher has tools to assess whether the student has watched and listened to the entire seminar presented asynchronously. It is permissible to conduct a test during or at the end of the seminar to assess the assimilation of information provided during the classes.
Depending on the epidemiological situation related to COVID-19, the form of classes may be changed, and classes may be held in a stationary, e-learning, or hybrid form, in accordance with the orders of the Rector of the Medical University of Silesia.
The topics of seminars and practical exercises, information on the form in which classes are conducted, and the start and end times of classes are available on the Medical University of Silesia e-learning platform, in the unit's secretariat, and on the information board located in the Department/Clinic.

Rules for admitting students to individual classes

The condition for admission to classes is punctual arrival, possession of a medical coat, stethoscope, and changeable shoes. To avoid crowding of a large number of students when entering the hospital, during the mandatory body temperature measurement, and when using the cloakroom, specific time frames will be assigned to individual student groups for these activities. In addition to the class start time, the student will also receive information on what time they should report to the hospital entrance. Students are required to comply with the hospital management's orders regarding epidemic safety measures, in particular, completing or providing an epidemiological interview. In the case of e-learning classes, it is recommended to log in punctually from your own account to the e-learning platform/appear on the list of meeting participants and actively participate throughout the entire meeting.
During classes, basic ethical and moral principles, appropriate attitude towards the patient and the staff of the Department and Clinic must be observed.
During practical exercises, the student is provided with personal protective equipment (masks, gloves, protective gowns, disinfectants), just like the employed medical staff.
The student is required to have theoretical preparation according to the topics of practical exercises and seminars, in particular, completion of the required eLearning courses. Lack of preparation for classes may result in failure to pass the classes with the necessity to make them up or pass them at a time agreed upon with the teacher.
The student is obliged to maintain medical confidentiality and protect personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR.
The student is obliged to have a student ID card during classes and to show it at the request of persons conducting didactic classes.

All absences require making up.
Absence from practical exercises should be made up by participation/oral or written credit after prior arrangement with the Head of practical exercises, with another practical exercise group. The student is obliged to make up for the practical exercises in the same form in which they missed the classes, i.e., if they missed online practical exercises, they make them up online; similarly, stationary practical exercises are made up in a stationary manner. With the consent of the Head of practical exercises, deviations from this rule are possible.
Absence from a seminar conducted in a stationary form should be credited with the person conducting the given seminar.
Seminar classes conducted using e-learning methods should be completed by the student before the practical exercises. A student who did not participate in seminar classes will not be admitted to practical exercises.
Missing classes requires formal justification of the absence. The student should make up for the missed classes after the Head of practical exercises recognizes the justification as valid.

The credit for classes is given by the academic teacher conducting the classes. The credit for the course takes the form of a multiple-choice test, in writing or orally. Failure to appear at the appointed time (without justification) is equivalent to a failing grade.
The student is additionally assessed during practical exercises and seminars on the current topics of the classes.
The scope of the required material for each day of practical exercises is announced in the class schedule of the given didactic unit.

Failure to pass the credit in the second make-up term results in a failing grade and, consequently, not being admitted to the final exam.

Practical exam

The practical exam is an integral part of the course credit. Students who have made up for absences (§3) and obtained a credit for the course (§4) are admitted to the practical exam.

In special/random situations, with the consent of the Head of the unit conducting the classes, the student may take the practical exam at a later date - in accordance with the Study Regulations.
The practical exam consists of elements assessing the practical approach to the patient, examination technique, clinical reasoning, differential diagnosis, and treatment.
The individual elements of the exam are a) collecting psychopathological symptoms from an interview with the patient, b) assessment in oral or written form of the ability to describe the patient's clinical condition, summarize the clinical condition, propose a diagnosis with differential diagnosis, and propose a treatment method c) assessment of knowledge regarding psychiatric symptomatology in oral or test form.
