(1) The duration of the practice placement period at the Faculty of Medicine: the summer practice placement period and the 6th year students’ practice placement period are of forty hours per week, during which the student can be assigned once bi-weekly to an on-call period (i.e. to take part in a plactice placement during an on-call period) of up to 12 hours, which should be undertaken on weekends or at nights depending on the student’s choice.
(2) The duration of the practice placement period at the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences is forty hours per week for the summer practice placement period and forty hours per week for the obligatory placement before the final examination.
(3) Validation of a placement shall be denied if the absence has reached 25% of the duration of the practice placement period.
(4) In case of a “fail” (1) qualification, students may not continue their studies until the practice placement period is completed.
(5) At the Faculty of General Medicine, a comprehensive examination after the 6th year practice placement period may be prescribed in the model curriculum. Once a comprehensive examination is requested, the practice placement period does not have to be evaluated by an individual grade; in case the examination is failed, the practice placement period does not have to be repeated.
