The acquisition of clinical skills is evaluated by the supervisor of practical training, while the supervisor of the specialty programme organises the examination of theoretical knowledge of study courses (in accordance with RSU Academic Regulations II). Theoretical knowledge is assessed using a variety of assessment methods: multiple-choice tests, essays, descriptions of solutions to clinical problems, case presentations, etc. Skills are assessed through observation of workplace performance, as well as through observation of demonstrations on a dummy or simulator, and through testing of objectively structured clinical skills. Medical residents’ knowledge and skills are assessed with a grade on a 10-point scale.
