17. BOOK OF CLINICAL SKILLS – SIGNATURES 1. Excerpts from the letter of Prof. Dr. Csernus to students on March 17, 2011: 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 (since he/she signed it at different times), it’s sufficient to seal once per page. The seal shall clearly identify the lecturer.

18. BOOK OF CLINICAL SKILLS – SIGNATURES 2. In order to fulfil the requirements, the lecturers will be informed and made to cooperate – besides, we make the following one-time exceptions: For students graduating in 2013, proper verifying is required for at least two thirds of the skills. The rules applicable for the other one third of the book are the same as in the case of students graduating in 2012 (that is: it is overlooked if dates are missing in case of some skills, but an individual signature at each skill is required, and at least there shall be (at least) a seal per page from each lecturer.)
