Abstract

Pediatrics is a medical field focused on comprehensive health care for children and adolescents from birth to adulthood. The basic aspect of the field is its preventive focus. The emphasis is placed on the correct physical and psychological development of the child. The child's body has a different physiology, metabolism and response to treatment. The approach to the child patient also requires specific communication adapted to the child's age and close cooperation with the family. The aim of teaching Pediatrics I is to practice communication with children, taking a complete medical history from the child's parents and performing a physical examination of children of all ages. During the internships, the most common childhood diseases will be discussed.

Teacher's information

Pediatrics classes always start on Mondays and Tuesdays in the Simulation Center. It starts at 7:45 am. Arrive at internships with a certain amount of time, late arrivals are not tolerated. Internship at SIMU is mandatory, replacing absence here is problematic.Pediatrics classes continue at the hospital Milosrdných bratří, Polní 3, Brno on Wednesday. Practical training and seminars are held at the Children's Hospital - Department of Pediatric Medicine, Brno, Černopolní 212/9, 613 00, Brno Students are divided into groups according to the schedule, which can be found on the board at the headquarters of the Department of Pediatric, Pavilion C, 4th floor Practical training are held at the Department of Pediatrics, Brno, Černopolní 212/9, 613 00, Brno The seminars take place in Study Room 1 (next to Department 69) or Study Room 2 (next to Department 67). In the event of an unfavorable epidemiological situation, they will be online. *Tools, necessary to attend practical training: official university ID card, coat, slippers, stethoscope (without tools can not student attend practical training) *Cloakroom: Building A (at the opposite of the gatehouse – where is possible to pick up keys). Lockers must stay empty every day *Watch the latest information on the notice board at the headquarters of the Department of Pediatrics , pavilion C, 4.floor * It is in the interest of every student to come up early enough before beginning practical training (to find out the allocation of students into groups and particular wards) Student who will come more than 15 minutes later is not allowed to participate in practical training or seminar. Students are not allowed to change specified group. In accordance to The MU Study and Examination Regulations all practical education and lectures are obligatory. Absence in tuition and make up classes Without an excuse, it is possible to miss 10% of the total internship time. In practice, this means either one bedside teaching or one seminar. All absences above the allowed limit must be made up for. A planned exam in a different subject on a given internship day is not a valid excuse. To make up for the absence at the bedside teaching session, the students are expected to agree on a new tuition time with a relevant assistant (the one whose class they missed). The absence in seminar could be amended by attending another seminar with a different group of students, where same topic is discussed. Please be aware, there might not be same-topic seminar scheduled in convenient time scale. The students might also choose to make up for asences in either tuition during "the substitutional" week (18th week). The signature and the name tag of the teacher must ALWAYS be stated on the attendance list.
