Learning outcomes

The internship is organised during the month of June. In order to get the full benefit of this internship, the student must be fully available at this time (which means no exams to present in the residual session); in addition, he/she must master the notions of semiology, cardiovascular pathology, pneumology, clinical pharmacology and medical psychology courses, among others. The internship is only available to students at the end of their cycle. A student is at the end of the cycle when his or her EAP includes the last teaching units (TUs) for which he or she must acquire credits in order to obtain the academic degree.

Goals

This tutorial allows the student to be in direct and personal contact with a general practitioner, his tutor, and to observe, in the most concrete and realistic way possible, the practice of general medicine, in order to : • to assess the way in which theoretical knowledge is put into practice; • understand the concrete aspects of the doctor-patient relationship; • putting professional secrecy into practice ; • to reflect on their future personal medical practice.

Assessment method

There are two aspects to student assessment: - an assessment of the trainee by his/her GP tutor, worth 12 points out of the 20 in the final score - an oral examination, assessed by a member of the UNamur tutorial commission, worth 8 points of the final mark. In order to prevent the student from skipping one of the two aspects of this assessment, the overall mark will be a maximum of 9.00/20 if one of the two sub-scores is below 10.00/20. The student must return his or her internship evaluation to both the Internship Commission and his or her internship tutor within a strict deadline, which will be specified to him or her. As a general rule, any delay by the student in any of the stages of preparation and/or execution of the placement will result in a penalty on the final grade. The exact modalities of the assessment are subject to change when the examination timetable is being drawn up, depending on the practical constraints that the faculty administration may face, or in case of illness/force majeure/emergency with a placement, or because of the health situation related to the coronavirus.

It is the student's responsibility to take personal steps to find a tutor who will accept him/her on placement.
