PRACTICAL TRAININGS

Practical trainings are divided into two parts: seminar and practical. The seminar part takes place in a distant (online) form. Videopresentations on individual topics are published in MS Teams. The student is obliged to watch videopresentation and to review the seminar part of the practical exercises before the practical part. The practical part will take place in person. The condition for participation in the practical part will be successful completion of the examination of knowledge from the seminar part (and relevant lectures if already published) at the beginning of the practical part.

For detailed terms of practical exercises including assigned teachers for individual study groups, see the SCHEDULE.

Practical parts for topics No. 1 – 4 are placed in teaching rooms at the Department of Psychiatry (Mickiewiczova 13, entry E, 3^rd floor).

Practical part for topic No. 5 is placed at the Department of Paediatric Psychiatry (Limbová 1, 7^th floor). These practicals are marked in the schedule with §.

The individual exercises are thematically different and simultaneously interconnected. Therefore, it is important for the participants to complete them with their study group. Replacing exercises is very limited based on the dean's decision.
