Course history

Required preliminary courses

Clinical training, lectures, group work, written assignments, logs, simulations at the simulation and skills centre and self-study. Each clinical training course consists of 5 weeks of practice with direct patient contact, where a 5-day week is carried out, ie 37.5 hours per week. For each clinical training course, there are an additional 2 weeks of simulation, reflection and assignments.

Learning outcomes

All clinical training have different compulsory activities and tasks in the implementation. See chapter on Clinical training.

In addition, the following must be approved before the final assessment can be done:

  • Practical test at the simulation and skills centre
  • Student-BEST

Teaching and learning methods

The assessment is based on the learning outcomes for the course, the student's specification of the learning outcomes and the formative assessment made of the student during the clinical training period. Students' clinical training can only be assessed if their attendance is sufficiently high.

  • Less than 10% absence: The student can complete the clinical training course as normal.
  • 10-20% absence: If possible, the student can make up for the clinical training missed. This must be agreed with the clinical training supervisor and the supervisor at the university.
  • More than 20% absence: The student must retake the whole clinical training course.

Students are responsible for obtaining a copy of their assessment form from the supervisor. The form must be presented to the new supervisor in the next clinical training period.
