The scope of the Internal medicine course is to provide students with knowledge concerning specific diseases in all branches i.e. disciplines of internal medicine, theoretical knowledge in various internistic diseases, diagnostic processes, specific clinical features, diferential diagnosis and modern therapy. Also, during practicals student should adopt knowledge in various diseases through approach to the patient, history taking and physical examination. The course is divided into eight parts according to each discipline in internal medicine.

Attendance to the lectures and practicals is obligatory and will be confirmed by professors signatures on the attendance sheet brought by teacher at the beginning of the course. Absence is permitted in less than 10% of lectures and practicals according to the medical study rules. If it is in the range 10-30% it is necessary to have make ups before semester signature is given.
EVALUATION AND FINAL GRADE
Final grade in Internal medicine is based on four criteria:
1. Attendance to the lectures and practicals is obligatory and will be confirmed by professors signatures on the attendance sheet brought by teacher at the beginning of the course.
2. Results (grade) on four colloquia.
3. Practical exam grade (positive grade is obligatory for main part of the exam- final test).
4. Grade on the final test.
Regular lecture attendance has important influence on final grade (can decrease or increase the previous grade given on the final test). Possible number of points:
- 6 points- regular attendance of lectures and practicals (confirmed by professors signature on the attendance sheet)
- 3 points- (if there were necessary make ups i.e. compensations)
- 0 points-(if there were no make ups for missed lectures).
Colloquia are organized after lectures from two internal medicine disciplines are finished. The student must have all colloquia as a prerequisite for final exam. Each colloquium has 30 questions and comprises questions from 2 disciplines of internal medicine: COLOQUIUM 1 from pulmology and alergology, COLOQIUM 2 from gastroenterology/hepatology and hematology, COLOQIUM 3 from cardiology and rheumatology, COLOQIUM 4 from endocrinology and nephrology. Grades from all colloquia maximally can bring 24 points, and grading scale is bellow.
-GRADE 6 - 2 points
-GRADE 7- 3 points
-GRADE 8 -4 points
-GRADE 9 - 5 points
-GRADE 10 - 6 points.
So final number of points together with grades earned on practical exam and final test, influences final grade according to the table given bellow.
