Evaluation Method:

Oral examination in the form of clinical scenario analysis and/or Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE).

The exam draws its content from the material of the courses Psychiatry I, Psychiatry II and Psychiatry (clinical practice), and examines 1/3 the clinical skills and attitudes that the student has developed, 1/3 the clinical application of theoretical knowledge , and 1/3 the ability to develop a differential diagnosis and/or treatment plan.

Objective Objectives/Desired Results:

The purpose of the students' practice in the Psychiatric Clinic is the synthesis of theoretical knowledge and its organized application in the diagnosis and treatment of patients in the clinical field. The ultimate goal is for students to develop the basic and necessary KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS and ATTITUDES in Psychiatry that will enable them to function autonomously and safely as young doctors in any specialty. Clinical practice in psychiatry is particularly demanding because students are required to develop the above skills in a short period of time and using their creativity and initiative.

Upon successful completion of the course, the student must have developed the following:

clinical skills (effective communication with the patient/relatives/colleagues/third parties, establishment of a therapeutic relationship and the role of empathy, correct history taking, clinical examination, preparation of a treatment plan, etc.),
experience in the clinical diversity of mental illness to be able to distinguish mental from physical illness, and mental illness from each other.
combined clinical ability (taking into account the overlapping of physical and mental morbidity, practical use of the bio-psycho-social model in the formulation of the diagnosis and treatment plan, use of multiple models in the interpretation of symptomatology, understanding of psychotherapeutic approaches, understanding of transference/countertransference, etc. ).
ability to assess risk (suicidality and self-destructive behaviors, heterodestructive behaviors, vulnerability, neglect, delinquency, dangerousness of psychotropic drugs, etc.).
knowledge and experience of the practical application of the law (prosecution orders for involuntary hospitalization, forced restraint of the person, human rights, legal capacity, cooperation with police/prosecutor/prisons, etc.)
development of modern mentality (destigmatization of mental illness, moral parity - "parity of prestige" of psychiatry, psychiatric reform, community psychiatry, preventive psychiatry, ethics, etc.)

Autonomous work
