During practices, students will have the opportunity to learn the following: physical examination of
injured patients, bandaging, casting techniques, and the uses of orthesises and splints.
Consultation of typical and the more frequent trauma cases, radiologic diagnostics, as well as
videos in the operative theater are also part of the curriculum. If there is an interest in attending
on duty shifts, students may discuss this and make an appointment with their teacher, where they
will have an opportunity to perform basic surgical interventions under supervision.

During the course of the semester, three absences are allowed. Any further absence must be
repeated in the following manner: One on-duty shift per absence at our department.

We can only accept hospital discharge papers for verification of more than three absences from
practices or the absence from the exam, proving the student was continuously hospitalized during

allow the student to take the midterm examination if the student was absent from more than three
practices which are unjustified or unrepeated by participating in one on-duty shift per absence.
