How to ask for a confirmation letter from a University? • the letterhead must contain the name and logo of the university • their letter must clearly state that the given hospital is a TEACHING • • • HOSPITAL (with these words). If they have info on it, they shall also claim if it is only valid for just some departments or for the whole hospital or if it is only valid for a certain period or for undefined time. in English or in German (otherwise official translation needed!!) it must be signed by a responsible person (e. g. : registrar, dean, head of office, study advisor, etc. ) and there must be a university stamp as well the letter can be faxed or mailed to me as well before the original arrives

Letter of permission from the head of dept. in Pécs attached to a letter of permission to Prof. Dr. Czopf, Vice-Dean of Education (official letter format - with all the data of the practice: your name and signature, which dept. , exact period, professor’s name and signature, date…) Acceptance letter is still needed if you do it outside the UPMS clinics!!!

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, the skill should be signed as many times as it is performed. The seal shall clearly identify the lecturer.

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 date in EACH and EVERY line) • „Skills acquired individually” (in the back of the booklet): minimum 5!
