Course completion requirements

The student will draw questions at random, one from each of the three topic areas (paediatric propaedeutics, special paediatrics, differential diagnosis in paediatrics) and another question from radiology with an x-ray to be described. The x-ray will be an image of one of the following body systems: lung x-ray, GIT, kidney or urinary pathways, CNS, or bones. Each question will be graded as 1, 2 or 3 (= passed), or 4 (= failed). The examination in paediatrics is a complex one and the questions are mere guidelines for the course of the part of the Rigorous State Examination, and in testing the student’s knowledge it may overlap with some other subjects as well. The Examining Board can interrupt the examination at any moment in order to ballot about the grading. If the student is graded as “failed” for any question (theoretical from any topic area or the x-ray image), the examination will not be continued and the total grade for the part of the Rigorous State Examination is “failed”. Grading of the particular questions as well as the total outcome – grading of the part of the Rigorous State Examination – is decided on by ballot in the Examining Board.

Requirements to the exam

From 13.10.2025 students are always tested on three individual questions during the state examination in Pediatrics. These questions are arranged in advance into triplets, the number of which the student draws at random. The questions in this triplet are marked with the letters a), b), and c). If the answer to one question from the triplet is graded as a fail (4), the entire section of the state exam will be graded as a fail (4) and the state exam in Pediatrics will end with a fail.

The pediatric state exam also includes an exam on imaging methods. The student draws one of the numbers from 1 to 80 and describes the image appropriately (type of imaging method, part of the body shown, followed by a logical description of the structures, including physiological findings and abnormalities, and finally, the student gives a suspected diagnosis corresponding to the image). The images come from four areas of imaging methods according to anatomical classification: head, chest, abdomen, and skeleton.
