PROGRAMMES

Date: 26 May–31 May 2024
Organisation: Faculty of Medicine
Venue: Maribor, Slovenia
ECTS: 3

APPLICATIONS ARE CLOSED!

The blended intensive programme will include a virtual component that will begin with a brief introduction to the realm of clinical diagnostic thinking in the field of medicine, as well as various instructional methodologies employed for enhancing clinical diagnostic reasoning.

The virtual part will take place from 1 April to 30 June 2024.

The physical part of the BIP will employ a variety of teaching methods to ensure comprehensive learning:

Lectures: The lectures will be organised into thematic blocks, with each block focusing on the following diagnostic tools: ultrasound, laparoscopy, hysteroscopy and colposcopy.

Problem-Based Learning Sessions: The programme will feature several clinical cases crafted for problem-based learning sessions, meticulously tailored to align with the appropriate level of medical student knowledge.

Simulation Training: Simulation training will bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge imparted during lectures and practical clinical applications. Specifically, we will provide an ultrasound simulator that will enable students to practice transvaginal and transabdominal ultrasound techniques and recognize common pelvic pathologies. In the case of laparoscopy, simulation exercises will facilitate the development of basic laparoscopic skills, emphasizing motor skills necessary for laparoscopic procedures.

Clinical Bedside Teaching: We will also organise clinical bedside teaching sessions at the University Medical Centre Maribor, offering students the opportunity to observe diagnostic processes in real-world clinical practice. This firsthand experience will serve as the culmination of their diagnostic training, offering invaluable insights into clinical decision-making.

The physical part will take place from 26 May to 31 May 2024.

The summer school is organised as an Erasmus+ Blended Intensive Programme (BIP). Students attending the summer school are entitled to Erasmus+ funding. Read more about financial support here and contact your International Relations Office at your home university.
