At the beginning, a proof of study is required (study “index” or ISIC card). Students will also need stationery and their own laptop or mobile device with internet access. Each student draws a combination of questions that is randomly generated by a computer. The current version of the state exam questions is available for download at is.muni.cz in the "study materials" section. The online test is accessed via the is.muni.cz environment on individual laptops/mobile device with internet access and the potential to use hospital guest Wi-Fi. Exam contains 40 questions that are generated individually for each student. Only one answer is correct, and the time limit is 30 minutes. To successfully pass the examination, it is necessary to answer more than 67% of the questions correctly. The practical part of the exam takes place without the need for preparation time and includes the answer to one practical question with an emphasis on the knowledge and skills acquired during internship at the department. During the theoretical part of the exam, the student answers three questions from three areas: gynecology, obstetrics and gynecologic oncology. Before the exam, students have the opportunity for a short written preparation. It is recommended to prepare only a brief summary of each question, so that the student's own oral speech is factual and fluent. With students’ borderline knowledge, the examiner has the opportunity to ask additional questions from the relevant subject area. Questions – practical part 1.
