Tuition of the Internal Medicine part of the Clinical Propedeutics course consists of lectures, mandatory seminars, and mandatory practical clerkships. 1/ lectures take place in person every Monday afternoon. They are optional but strongly recommended for easier learning of clinical propedeutics 2/ seminars of the Internal Medicine part of Clinical Propedeutics are held in the library of the Department of Internal Medicine of the 2nd Faculty of Medicine, Charles University (4th floor between nodes C and D). Attendance at the seminar is mandatory, and presence is monitored. 3/ practical clerkships at the patient's bedside take place in immediate succession to the seminars of the Internal Medicine part of Clinical Propedeutics. Students will meet on the 4th floor at node C in the area in front of the elevators. Students must arrive at the given location immediately after the end of the seminar. For practical exercises, a white coat, phonendoscope (stethoscope), writing materials, and possibly (depending on the epidemiological situation or health status) a face mask or respirator are required. It is not allowed to bring outerwear, bags, or other bulky objects to the clerkships; these items must be left in the lockers. Each study group will be divided into 2 groups for the clerkships. Each group will be assigned a group instructor.

For the monitored part of the tuition (seminars and practical clerkships), students receive official Attendance Sheets from the pedagogical secretariat of the Department of Internal Medicine. After completing each seminar and each practical clerkship, the instructor confirms attendance in the respective teaching unit by signing the Attendance Sheet. The instructor also records the results of continuous assessments of practical knowledge (history taking and physical examination skills) in the attendance sheet. The student submits the completed attendance sheet to the pedagogical secretariat of the Department of Internal Medicine at the end of the academic year. It serves as an essential prerequisite for granting the credit in the summer semester.

Continuous assessment of knowledge in the Internal Medicine part of Clinical Propedeutics takes place after covering individual teaching segments. This means that every 2–4 weeks of teaching, a test that tests the knowledge of the curriculum covered so far will be placed on MOODLE. Students must complete individual thematic MOODLE tests within that specific week. The weeks designated for completing a specific MOODLE test are clearly marked in the schedule for the Seminars in Internal Propedeutics. After the given timeframe expires, the test is no longer accessible and cannot be reopened. Therefore, the student must carefully monitor the opening dates of the continuous tests. Completing the MOODLE test is one of the conditions for obtaining the credit.

The winter semester concludes with a credit. The conditions for obtaining the credit are:

1/ Attendance at seminars and bedside practical clerkships. A maximum of 20% absence per semester is tolerated. Missed seminars or practical clerkships can be substituted with another study group. In the case of long-term absence or illness, the substitution will be resolved individually (contact the pedagogical secretariat of the Department of Internal Medicine).

2/ Completion of all tests in MOODLE with a score above 75%. In case of failure or missing one continuous MOODLE test, it is necessary to write a clinical essay on the given topic with a length of 2 pages of standard line spacing (1.5) and submit it to the pedagogical secretariat of the Department of Internal Medicine. In case of failure or missing two or more continuous MOODLE tests, the student will be examined in person after the end of the semester on the knowledge of the curriculum corresponding to the missed tests.

3/ Student evaluation at the end of the winter semester in the Attendance Sheet. This consists of an examination of physical examination knowledge covering the curriculum taught so far and an assessment of the student's activity. The examination is conducted and recorded in the Attendance Sheet by the group instructor.

4/ Credit test. The dates of the written credit test are posted in SIS one month in advance for all students of the given year. The test has 20 questions, answers in multiple-choice format. A minimum of 75% correct answers is required for successful completion. In case of failing the test, the student receives instructions from the pedagogical secretariat for an oral examination of practical skills.

The summer semester concludes with a credit and an oral exam. The conditions for obtaining the credit are: 1/ Attendance at seminars and bedside practical clerkships. A maximum of 20% absence per semester is tolerated. Missed seminars or practical clerkships can be substituted with another study group. In the case of long-term absence or illness, the substitution will be resolved individually (contact the pedagogical secretariat of the Department of Internal Medicine).

2/ Completion of all tests in MOODLE with a score above 75%. In case of failure or missing one continuous MOODLE test, it is necessary to write a clinical essay on the given topic with a length of 2 pages of standard line spacing (1.5) and submit it to the pedagogical secretariat of the Department of Internal Medicine. In case of failure or missing two or more continuous MOODLE tests, the student will be examined in person after the end of the semester on the knowledge of the curriculum corresponding to the missed tests.
