The clerkships are a part of the medical curriculum mandatory to be granted a pass to enter the fifth year of the study. The head of the ambulance service, the surgical ward or an appointed instructor in charge is responsible for providing a detailed program of the practical training course and duty schedules. They also supervise and carry out the final assessment of students’ performance. The duties carried out by the student are those of a regular physician / surgeon, however, under professional supervision of the instructors During their training students are expected to perform two twenty-four hour shifts when they shadow the physician / surgeon in charge and assist or do the regulator work. The main objective of the summer holiday clerkships is to use the theoretical knowledge gained by students in the course of their fourth-year study (e.g. pharmacology, general surgery, internal diseases, pediatric diseases, community medicine etc). As well as to improve their practical skills. Students’ practical training in the Ambulance Service comprises the following: 1. instruction in the scope of activities provided by the service (completing and filing records, assessing the time of temporary work disability, referring patients to hospital, rendering transport service, organizing emergency / rescue operation in mass poisoning, epidemics, accidents, natural disasters etc. 2. assisting the physician in providing emergency aid and shadowing them on home calls. 3. assisting the physician in general, resucitation, accident and emergency, pediatric and ob/ gyn ambulance calls. 4. instruction in life-saving procedures. The training program provided by the Surgical Ward covers the following aspects: 1. organization and management of the ward (admissions to the operating theaters, treatment rooms, admission criteria, completing and filing records, discharging patients from hospital). 2. types of surgical instruments and equipment. 3. improving skills in clinical examination and diagnostic procedures, particulary in emergency cases. 4. learning the rules of wound dressing and suturing techniques, managing fractures and burns. 5. learning the principles and types of local anesthesia. 6. participating in ward rounds and morning briefings done by the doctor in charge. 7. active participation in the functioning of the ward, practicing basis interventions, changing dressings, removing stitches, starting intravenous drips, collecting samples for diagnostic procedures. 8. principles of asepsis and antisepsis, the technique of scrubbing before operation. 9. assisting in surgical procedures in the operating theater. Throughout the course of training students are expected to make records of their activities and procedures performed. They are also assessed by the instructor in charge and are finally granted their passing mark by the head of the department. Certificates written in English or translated should be submitted to the Dean’s Office of the Medical University of Warsaw by October 5 of the subsequent academic year. 28
