ANNOTATION OF THE SUBJECT PROPEDEUTICS OF INTERNAL MEDICINE, 3rd year, winter semester:
The subject Propedeutics of Internal Medicine contains 13 lectures and 13 practicals. Students are acquainted with the principles of ethical approach to patients, taking medical history, doing physical examination of individual body parts and organ systems. Lectures also deal with laboratory and imaging methods used in internal medicine. Practical teaching takes place mainly in the wards of the Department of Internal Medicine and Department of Cardiology and consist of 13 practicals. Practicals are focused on the general approach to the patient, description of the chief complaint, history of present illness and past medical history of the patient. Students carry out systematic physical examination of patients. We emphasize the systematic approach to investigations of individual parts of the body or organ systems. Students learn to recognize physiological and pathological findings. Thorough examination of the patient gives the student an invaluable practical experience. The student learns empathy, sensitive approach. Contact with the patient is the most and we emphasize it; however, training in the seminar room, descriptions of ECG records or watching instructional videos are also part of the course. During practicals, students will also visit various departments of the internal and cardiology clinic, where they follow examinations (eg sonography, coronarography, gastroscopy, colonoscopy etc.). Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes: Lectures are optional, but we strongly recommend participation. A detailed syllabus of the course is given in the attachment (Syllabus/Lectures). Condition for granting the credit is participation in practicals (we tolerate 10% absence). The course is completed by an exam, which has a practical and theoretical part. For a list of required and recommended literature, a list of questions to the exam and a description of the components of the exam see relevant attachments.

Examination in Propedeutics in Internal Medicine at the Department of internal medicine 1, Plzeň-Lochotín has two parts, both held in one day:

Practical part:

a) The teacher chooses an appropriate patient and asks the student to perform some part of the physical examination (physicals), e.g. examination of the lungs.

b) The student approaches lege artis to the patient and asks him/her about presenting complaint. 

c) The student shall perform the given part of the physical

Should the student not be able to communicate with the patient in Czech, the teacher will help the student and interpret the questions/answers and necessary instructions to the patient during the physical, e.g. "deep breath in - deep breath out and hold!" etc.

d) The student writes (on an A4 sheet of paper) notes about presenting complaints (e.g. "86-year-old woman was admitted due to…(one or two sentences)) and also writes down the findings from the given part of the physicals (the same way as if he/she would write regular medical notes on the patient´s chart).

The teacher assisting with the communication observes the student´s work and can give additional questions/comments. The teacher writes the theme of the practical exam and the grade achieved in the Examination book. The written notes from the physicals are given to the teacher examining the oral part.

Oral part: The student draws a card with a pair of questions,  He/She has 15 minutes for preparation and then presents the topic to the examiner.
