In semester 2C, the following subjects are taught: adult psychiatry, child and youth psychiatry, substance abuse, physical medicine, neurosurgery, neurology, ENT, eye and stroke.
In connection with the above subjects, teaching is given in microbiology, imaging, pharmacology, pathology and medical biochemistry.
All Link students, including those possibly traveling on exchange, must during the autumn of the fourth year of study choose a topic for their main thesis, make an agreement with their supervisor and submit a protocol for approval by 31 January of the following semester. See also semester 3A.
In addition, there will be teaching in the longitudinal threads "Scientific competence", "Health promotion and prevention" and "Communication, patient contact and professionalism" which will run from start to finish throughout the entire medical course.
Course MDA4042 is the decentralized variant of course MDT4042. Prerequisites, exam forms and learning objectives are identical, while the learning forms vary.
