The Department offers the following courses within the University\u2019s Faculty of Medicine English Language Program: <br \/>\nIntroduction to Patient Care (previously Medical Profession, first year);\u00a0 Introduction to Clinical Medicine (second year); Family Medicine blocks (fourth year) and the Rotation week(s) (sixth year). See their details via the menu links.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EDUCATION<\/strong><br \/>\nThe medical students&#8217; first two years of education contains the Introduction to Patient Care and Introduction to Clinical Medicine subjects organized by the Department, these has been taught in this form since 2019 after already 10 years of experience. The aim of these courses is to establish doctor-patient relationships and the clinical propedeutics, and to show students the medical environment and doctors&#8217; attitude in the University clinical healthcare.<\/p>\n<p>The 4th and 6th year courses are more practice-oriented: the Family Medicine block and the Rotation week demonstrates the family doctors&#8217; work through a one-to-one student-tutor setting, which is quite unique and is a good opportunity to enhance skills of the medical profession. There are more than 40 teaching practices available across Budapest, where experienced GPs introduce students to their daily activities: medical consultations, treatment decisions, and the importance of prevention. More than 300 GP-tutors from both the capital city and the near countryside support the Department\u2019s teaching activities in the Hungarian, English and German language Training Programs.<\/p>\n<p>Facilities are provided for scientific work, research in the Scientific Students\u2019 Association, writing theses, even preparing rector papers. On thesis topics that students can research at our Department see the list on this page below.<\/p>\n<p>We have been organizing a 26-month-long postgradual trainee program since 1992 as the vocational training period of the GP-specialisation. The dedicated training program is built up from a strict structure and is continuously monitored. It is based on medical work done by the GP-mentor in his or her practice and under supervision. It is supplemented by professional programs providing theoretical and practical knowledge necessary for the safety of independent GP-activities. The first 2 years of the program ends with a license exam. The qualifying exam can be taken after 10 months of individual but supervised work within a general practice.<br \/>\nThe Department organizes continuous, thematic postgraduate courses for GPs in Budapest and the agglomeration of the University.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RESEARCH<\/strong> <br \/>\nScientific research at the Department is partly focused on the teaching process of a family practicioner, the education of the teaching staff. Further fields are the management of everyday health care, quality assurance, the treatment of patients suffering from chronic diseases, primary and secondary prevention activities, complementary and alternative medicine, as well as introducing new methods in primary healthcare.<\/p>\n<p>Topics offered for Students\u2019 Scientific Association work include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Patient management \u2013 practice analysis in primary care;<\/li>\n<li>Complex care of elderly patients in family practice;<\/li>\n<li>Care of malignant patients and their caregivers;<\/li>\n<li>Special activities of the GP during home care;<\/li>\n<li>Diagnostic and decision algorithms in the primary care;<\/li>\n<li>Execution and efficiency of primary and secondary prevention in family practice;<\/li>\n<li>The health status of Hungarian GPs;<\/li>\n<li>Cardiovascular patients\u2019 risk status and the management of their prevention program;<\/li>\n<li>Smoking habits, quitting.
