Dr. L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Rosivall, director of the Department of Pathophysiology, had the Medical Sign Language Communication course accredited as an elective course within the official medical training curriculum. Over 140 students successfully completed the course, worth one credit point, over the past two semesters.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The course material was developed by three experienced deaf sign language instructors and one sign language interpreter, with medical professional guidance.
