Testing of the Anatomy Practical skills

Upon completion of the study course at the end of the 3rd semester, the students are supposed to:
• Identify and show anatomical structures using plastic models, plates, and real bones;
• Demonstrate the correct position and/or parts of bones, muscles, nervous system, internal
organs, heart,vessels, and nerves;
• Use anatomical terminology.

Revision of the Anatomy Practical skills before commencing clinical subjects and successful
ending of the study course:

The assessment of the practical skills or grading of students’ practical skills will be done on the basis
of a “passed/failed” scale. During the practical testing of the skills, every student will get a specially
prepared list with ten structures. Students must identify and show these structures on plastic models,
plates, and real bones.

Testing of the Anatomy Practical skills (onsite!!!) is given by the following assessment criteria:
The identification and correct showing of the
1) 7-10 anatomical structures: passed;
2) 1-6 anatomical structures: failed.

If the student fails the Practical skills test, then this student must repeat it. The student and teacher
will decide on the possibilities of retake (day, time).

The testing of the practical skills must be done until the last practical class of the course this
semester (or before getting a cumulative grade, before the Autopass (Olympiad) and the
Exam)!!!

Dates and times (during onsite practical classes or any extra time after practical classes) for testing
practical skills in every group will be decided and fixed between students and teachers.

Studies of the practical skills can be organized inside regular onsite practical classes, or students can
apply for self-studies via a Google Drive link in the e-studies.
