Family Medicine
1655-Lek5MROD-J
The tutorials are devoted to the analysis of the most common clinical cases in the practice of a family doctor (patients with infections, patients with diabetes, diseases of internal origin) and the principles of doctor-patient communication.
The seminars are intended to provide students with knowledge about practical antibiotic therapy, antipyretic treatment, vaccinations of children and adults, principles of treatment with vitamin K antagonists, respiratory tract infections, tobacco addiction, prevention of cardiovascular diseases, practical assessment of cardiovascular risk, and patients' problems in elderly, cancer prevention, health promotion and prevention (definitions, screening tests and preventive programs), principles of healthy eating, dietary treatment of lifestyle diseases, obesity as a lifestyle disease, urinary tract infections.
Family Medicine classes are aimed at shaping the medical attitude expected in the practice of a family doctor and familiarizing students with the model of primary health care based on a family doctor. Direct contact with the patient in the practice of a family doctor gives you the opportunity to learn about the epidemiology of basic medical problems and how to individually solve them.
During classes in a family doctor's office, students practically use the knowledge acquired in previous years of study. Under the supervision of an assistant, they perform a history and physical examination, make a preliminary diagnosis, and propose possible diagnostic tests and treatment.

Assessment criteria
The condition for passing the seminars and exercises is to actively participate in the scheduled activities and pass the practical skills (passing the practical assessment system 0-1). During the exercises, extended student observation is carried out in order to determine the assessment of social competences (pass> 60%). All absences the student is required to pass in the form indicated by the teacher (oral or written form). In the case of clinical exercises with the participation of the patient, the student is obliged to make up the absence on another date indicated by the teacher. The condition to take the exam is to pass the didactic classes in accordance with the assumed effects of education.
Practical test (grading system 0-1) W1, U1-U6;
Extended observation (> 60%) K1-K4;
Written exam in the form of a test (0-60 points, > 60%) W1-W9, U4-U6;
The final grade results from the percentage of points obtained during the written exam:
92≤…..<100 very good (5,0)
88≤…..<92 good plus (4,5)
80≤…..<88 good (4,0)
