The preparation of students of medical faculties and other public colleges for educative activities within the national programme of health support.
The tradition of education of physicians at the Medical Faculty of Comenius University (MFCU) has been developing for more than 85 years. Currently, the education has been widened by non-medical fields of study (nursing, obstetrical assistance, rehabilitation, public health care and laboratory and examination methods). After joining EU, the accreditation study programmes have been subject to transformation in compliance with current world trends in education. In accord with the transformation of content and forms of medical physics training, the authors demonstrate the main objectives and goals of this process. The goal is to prepare the graduates on high theoretical and practical levels, to teach them to work in team, and to prepare them for whole-life education. Practical skills in pre-clinical and clinical disciplines are being strengthened. One of the important outputs of pre-graduate education is the readiness of graduates for educative activities in favour of the National Programme of Health Support. (Tab. 1, Fig. 1, Ref. 7.)
