                                      INTRODUCTION 
                                                                           
                Practical preparation is the Internship integrated into the medical study programme at the 
           Faculty of Medicine of Vilnius University. The Internship helps to develop, adapt and improve 
           theoretical  and  practical  knowledge  and  skills  acquired  while  studying  in  the  medical  study 
           programme.  
                During the Internship in the medical study programme, a student studies, performs general 
           medical practice, and gains general medical knowledge, skills, and clinical experience under the 
           supervision of the Internship supervisor at the Internship sites approved by Vilnius University. 
                Based on the knowledge gained in integrated medical studies, students must during this 
           period acquire the following skills necessary for the initial medical practitioner: learn to diagnose 
           and provide initial treatment for the main types of internal diseases, childhood diseases, surgical 
           procedures, and gyneacological diseases and for normal pregnancy and childbirth and to learn how 
           to diagnose emergency conditions and assist in treating them. 
               The Internship consists of the following four clinical cycles: 
          1.   Internal Diseases 
          2.   Children’s Diseases 
          3.   Surgery and Traumatology 
          4.   Obstetrics and Gyneacology 
           
                The duration of each cycle is 3.5 weeks, but practical abilities and skills should be acquired 
                                                                       
           consistently throughout all 6 years of study at the Faculty of Medicine of Vilnius University.During 
           the Internship, a student must also acquire additional practical skills using computer simulators and 
           additional theoretical and practical skills in resuscitation. 
                During each cycle, a student is allowed to work no more than two shifts. Work at night is 
           regulated by the legal acts of the Republic of Lithuania. The duration of a week of studies and the 
           time a student spends working shifts at the Internship site must not exceed 40 hours. After night 
           shifts, the student receives benefits in accordance with the internal regulations of the Internship site 
                                                                          3 
           
          and the legal acts of the Republic of Lithuania. 
               A student’s work during the cycle is evaluated on a pass/fail basis and recorded in the 
          Internship Activity Log Book. The Internship supervisor signs the Internship Activity Log Book 
          after (s)he evaluates a student’s theoretical knowledge and ensures that the student has gained all 
          the practical skills listed in the programme (each practical skill must be approved by the doctor in 
          charge). 
              The Head of the Internship site confirms that a student has carried out a full Internship 
          programme by signing and putting the seal of the Internship site on the final evaluation sheet of 
          the Internship Activity Log Book. 
              After completing the Internship, a student must take an Internship examination. A student is 
          allowed to take the final examination of the medical study programme only after successfully 
          passing the Internship examination. 
              The Internship of the medical study programme is carried out in accordance with the 
          Internship Regulations of Vilnius University. The list of the students assigned to Internship sites is 
          approved by order of the Dean’s. Trilateral agreements must be concluded between the University, 
          the Internship site, and the student in accordance with the order. Control of the execution of the 
          Internship and inquiries regarding its organisation at the Faculty of Medicine of Vilnius University 
          are allocated to a vice-dean according to his/her area of responsibility. The Internship Log Book is 
          the only document proving the competencies and skills that a student has gained.
