The work and teaching methods include self-study, interprofessional cooperative learning and external practical training under supervision.

The student has nine (9) weeks of supervised practical training in the municipal or specialist health service. During this period, the student must twice demonstrate an examination and/or provide treatment in practice and give grounds for the clinical choices made and reflect on their own professional practice.

During the practical training, the students must comply with the clothing regulations in force at all times at the relevant practical training establishment.

The following must have been approved for the student to take the exam:

• individual subject note in accordance with set criteria, up to 700 words (+/- 10%). The coursework will be subject to assessment.
• Two practical demonstrations: Carrying out an examination and/or treatment in practice, justifying clinical choices and reflecting on one's own professional practice, as well as discussing their choices with the practical training supervisor and the contact lecturer and possibly fellow students. The first demonstration is prior to the midway assessment. The second within the last two weeks of the practical training period. Both with a duration of up to two hours.

Assessment of practical training: The assessment is based on the learning outcomes for the course and the continuous assessment that students are subject to throughout the practical training period.

The student’s practical training can only be assessed if their attendance is sufficiently high (90%). For more information, see the general part of the programme description about practical training assessment.

Resit assessment: Students who fail a period of practical training normally have to retake the whole practical training period.

Pass/Fail

The midway and final assessments are made by the practical training supervisor and the contact lecturer. The final decision on whether to award a pass or fail grade is made by the university.
