Oral exam
To get the credit, 80% attendance at the lectures is required. The exam is conducted through an oral exam where the student takes two questions. 1st question is from the field of general pharmacology, 2nd question is from the field of specialized pharmacology. It requires a basic understanding of the subject, the basic distribution of the groups of medicinal products, the basic mechanisms of action, the most common side effects, contraindications and interactions. Self-study. According to the Study Regulations, I will recall Article 17. (17) If a student withdraws from the examination after he / she starts, if he / she fails to attend the examination without proper excuse or if he / she seriously violates the test rules, he / she is classified as "failing". For serious reasons, especially medical ones, the student can apologize additionally, but no later than the fifth day after the scheduled date for the examination. The examiner shall decide the reasons for the excuse.
