Project description:

The project involves the implementation of high quality 3-month internship programmes aimed at students of purely practical programmes at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. Participants in the project are final-year students of physiotherapy, nursing, obstetrics and emergency medicine.

The subject areas of the implemented internship programmes will be closely linked to the learning outcomes of the above-mentioned programmes, thus ensuring their practical application in the course of their tasks. Internship programmes will be developed in accordance with the Council Recommendations of 10.03.2014 on the quality framework for internships and thus clearly define the educational objectives of the internship, the relevant working conditions and remuneration, the dimension and duration of the tasks - which will be included in the provisions of the internship contract. The proper realisation of the internship (ongoing monitoring, progress and evaluation of the intern, respect for the intern's rights) will be monitored by a supervisor delegated by the entity offering the internship, while the internships will be realised in high-quality institutions supporting students in starting their professional activity on the labour market, financially reliable, having a good reputation in the environment, meeting health and safety standards, ergonomic and employing highly substantive staff, thus ensuring maximum effective realisation of support for the participant. The types and form of support will be selected according to the directional needs, qualifications and competences of the participants.
