Examination

-
-
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 knowledge assessment methods: multiple-choice tests, essays, descriptions of clinical problem solutions, case presentations, etc. Skills are assessed by observation of performance in the workplace, by observation of demonstrations on a dummy or simulator, and by testing objectively structured clinical skills. Medical residents’ knowledge and skills are assessed with a grade on a 10-point scale.
