Oral exam. The assessment will also take into account clinical reasoning skills in applying acquired knowledge. Furthermore, attention will be paid to the appropriate use of medical-scientific terminology and active participation during lectures.

The purpose of the oral exam is to assess the student's ability to apply their knowledge and make the necessary logical-deductive connections. Final grade: Knowledge of a very limited number of topics covered in the course and analytical skills that emerge only with the instructor's assistance, generally correct language → 18-19; Knowledge of a limited number of topics covered in the course and independent analytical skills only on purely executive issues, correct language → 20-24; Knowledge of a large number of topics covered in the course, ability to make independent critical analysis choices, mastery of specific terminology → 25-29;
