Dear Medical Students, our first Course (study groups 5051 and 5052) will start on Monday 16nd October at 9 a.m. at the lecture hall at Fakultní poliklinika (FP) in VFN - Karlovo náměstí 32, building A - middle part, door no. P.21 !!! Please notice that Monday and Friday lectures are identical for both study groups, whereas a rotation of odd/even groups (i.e. 5053 is odd, 5054 even) is performed from Tuesday to Thursday - as specified in a detailed timetable below. Timetable Modification: Study Group No 5051 and 5052: Friday 20 October: Lessons start already at 8 o'clock and Monday 23 October: Lessons start at 9 o'clock (later). Futher information and a detailed time table is available at: https://1url.cz/ZMD1F. Please notice that some lessons start at 8 or 8,30 AM !!! Students gain CREDIT on the basis of their attendance and results of the online credit test in Moodle - link: B80120: Oncology Credit Test (cuni.cz). The key for student registration is the code of the subject: "B80120" EXAM could be taken either at a "pre-date slot" (available only for those who have just finished the current course - usually in 2 following weeks) or at a "regular exam slot" during exam period at the end of winter or summer semester (available for anybody). The exam can be held on-line via MS Teams but only under some very special circumstances and by prior arrangement. I hope you will find our course useful and we are all looking forward to our lectures. Sincerely, Head of Education at Oncology Clinic: MUDr. Martin Matějů, PhD.; contact: martin.mateju@vfn.cz Secretary of Oncology Clinic VFN: Mgr. Jana Hůlová; contact: jana.hulova@vfn.cz |
