Requirements for awarding credit points

Under the supervision and management of a scientific supervisor, he acquires new and advanced knowledge of the latest researches and discoveries in digestive physiology, solves the problems and tasks related to the theme to be developed, acquaints with the latest literature, studies, and methods used.

Description of the organization and tasks of students’ independent work

Preparing for the exam using the literature specified in the study program, the latest scientific publications in the leading industry journals and databases, as well as consulting with the scientific leader and other leading scientists.

Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes

The study course is counted if the final examination - oral examination is successfully completed in the presence of the commission.
