Summer Internship in Gynecology and Obstetrics for General Medicine Students
Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, General University Hospital (VFN) and First Faculty of Medicine, Charles University
Registration for the summer internship will open on March 3. This internship will subsequently be recognized as part of your pre-state clinical training at our department (i.e., you will gain two additional weeks of free time for exam preparation; however, you will not miss out on theoretical teaching, simulation training, or seminars).
At the same time, we would like to remind you of the possibility to complete a two-week internship at other gynecology and obstetrics departments in the Czech Republic or worldwide. We will recognize this voluntary elective (worldwide, only certificate needed) and you will be able to skip 2 weeks clinical attendance.
We will encourage you to do voluntary summer elective where you should see (normal delivery, Ob/Gyn ultrasound examination, hysterectomy, cesarean section, gynecological examination and routine ward care).
We will recognize this voluntary elective (worldwide, only certificate needed) and you will be able to skip 2 weeks clinical attendance. The system how technically we will collect it is not set up yet, but we will inform you timely in advance.
If you are interested in an internship at our department, please contact me directly at jan.prada@vfn.cz.
Therefore, there will be 3 ways how to fulfil criteria for Ob/Gyn subject.
You will always need to pass final State exam at First Faculty.
1) Full attendance of 5+2weeks at the First Faculty
2) You will attend 2 weeks clinical elective (any Ob/Gyn department -worldwide), bring stamped certificate. Then you will be required to attend 3 weeks practical seminars and theoretical lectures.
3) You will attend full Ob/Gyn program of recognized university abroad. This requires receiving our pre-approval. You will send us your request, with the name of university and its Ob/Gyn syllabus. After our review you will (or not) receive our approval and you will be required before the state exam bring us a certificate from the visiting university.
