Additional information

Unit content:

The initial unit content is designed to introduce students to the MUCC clinic and patients’ management through the 4th-year clinic. The introduction to students in the clinical environment begins with simple cases under clinical supervision. Students are then permitted to assess more problematic cases. During this period, students have to organise adequate patients’ management using their previously acquired skills. Furthering students‘ knowledge of the clinical environment, students participate in front desk duties to acquire the basic understanding of clinic environment functioning.
