A Series of In-person Physiology Classes for Medical Students in Accordance with the Cooperation Memorandum with the University of Regensburg

As part of the student exchange program, second-year students from the School of Medicine of Karazin University participated in a series of in-person physiology classes based on the cooperation memorandum with the University of Regensburg.

With the support of the Dean of the School of Biology and Preclinical Medicine, Professor Ralph Wittig, and the participation of Professor Frank Schwed from the University of Regensburg, Karazin students were introduced to German standards in higher medical education. Associate Professor Vera Shekh from the Department of Human and Animal Physiology of the School of Biology of Karazin University, who is on scientific and pedagogical internship for teachers at the University of Regensburg, also joined the classes.

The future doctors independently performed laboratory work on ECG registration and analysis, blood flow in arterial and venous vessels, heart activity regulation, local and systemic blood circulation, cardiovascular and respiratory system physiology, sensory system studies, physiological basis of behavior, and blood system physiology.

Practical skills training was conducted using modern equipment, including an electrocardiograph, an adjustable table with tilt, Goldman's perimeter projector, a soundproof booth for hearing tests, express blood group test, spirometer, tonometer, electromyograph, and more.

We are delighted to create opportunities for our students and implement practical classes even under such challenging circumstances!
