18. BOOK OF CLINICAL SKILLS – SIGNATURES 1. • Excerpts from the letter of Prof.Dr.Csernus to students on March 17, 2011: • 3. The lecturer has to verify the accomplishment IMMEDIATELY, on the spot (with date and signature). As only few students can do the practice at a given time, thus it might not be a problem for the lecturer to give the signature. He might not remember all the students later thus signing it later seems not to be serious. Students are therefore asked to keep their Books of Clinical Skills at their hands during the practice. • 4. If the acquisition of a skill is required to be fulfilled several times then the students have to perform it at different times, otherwise the acquisition is not efficient. That is the reason why different dates and signatures are needed in the book. • 5. In case, the signature of the same lecturer can be found on a page of the Book of Clinical Skills several times, theskillshould be signedasmanytimesasit is performed. The seal shall clearly identify the lecturer.

19. BOOK OF CLINICAL SKILLS – SIGNATURES 2. • For students graduating in 2014, and afterwards, all the verification (100 %) has to be done properly (signature, stamp and datein EACH and EVERY line). • „Skillsacquiredindividually” (inthe back of thebooklet): minimum 5!
