Before starting the course, students should gain basic knowledge of general psychiatry and medical sexology. Knowledge of general psychiatry is necessary for a full understanding of the issues discussed during face-to-face classes. This knowledge will be verified by an entrance test.

PLACE, TIME AND WHAT TO BRING WITH YOU TO LESSONS

1. What time and where do classes start?

Face-to-face classes start every day at 8:00 a.m. in the auditorium of the Psychiatric Clinic (PK) of the FN Brno, building G, 2nd floor. Students gather before classes in the hall in front of the auditorium and wait for the arrival of the teacher or secretary to let them into the auditorium.

2 Where does the teaching take place?

At the Psychiatric Clinic. The Psychiatric Clinic is located on the grounds of the Brno University Hospital, the adult workplace (Jihlavská 20) in pavilion G.

You can get to the auditorium of the Psychiatric Clinic as follows:

a) Through the side entrance from the right side of the Psychiatric Clinic from the high-rise building of the FN Brno, go up the stairs to the 2nd floor to the auditorium (not from the left side through the Crisis Center)

Note: You can keep your coats and slippers for the entire duration of the two-week teaching block in the auditorium of the Psychiatric Clinic.

HOW DOES THE PRESENCE TEACHING OF PSYCHIATRY-EXERCISE PROCEED?

At the beginning of the two-week course, students receive an Internship Sheet with a daily breakdown of taught topics, which also serves as proof of attendance. The internship sheet must be CARRIED DAILY to class and at the end of each day, the student's participation will be confirmed by the teacher's signature in the appropriate box.

It is expected that students will come to class prepared, i.e. that they will have at least the basic information that will be discussed that day. Preparation is then necessary for Team-based learning lessons (see below).

Teaching Psychiatry-exercise consists of the following elements: Educational seminars: are presentations on selected psychiatric topics. Together with the study of literature and lectures, they are supposed to provide students with theoretical information. This part of the lesson takes place in the auditorium of the Psychiatric Clinic.

Clinical case reports: these are either instructor-led patient interviews, educational videos or interactive case reports. This teaching segment is intended to serve as the first step in the application of theoretical knowledge regarding differential diagnosis and therapy in psychiatry. An active approach of students to the solution of the presented issue is expected. This part of the lesson takes place in the auditorium of the Psychiatric Clinic.

Clinical skills: this is the practice-oriented part of the teaching. This part of the teaching will take place in the inpatient wards or in the auditorium of the Psychiatric Clinic. The teacher, who has a patient demonstration on the specified day, selects the dept. The PK of the patient, suitable for the topic being discussed, will bring him with him to the auditorium (or department) and will demonstrate the examination on him. If a suitable patient is not available, the teacher can demonstrate the examination on a student volunteer.

Team-based learning (TBL) seminars: In this semester, 4 lessons taught in the TBL format are included in the teaching. This teaching takes place in TBL classrooms in the Simulation Center of the Faculty of Medicine (SIMU). TBL is a form of collaborative learning that allows students to be actively involved in the learning process. The TBL lesson structure makes it easy for students to learn to apply theoretical knowledge and acquire clinical reasoning skills. Each lesson consists of two parts: RAT (Readiness Assessment Test) and Application exercise (usually in the form of a virtual patient). Individual preparation before the lesson itself is essential for this type of teaching. Links to preparation materials can be found in the interactive syllabus "Preparation for exercises" (Chapters 7 - 8).
