The preliminary examination consists of an oral test or examination in each of physics and chemistry and of a practical test in the latter. The practical test is to be completed within 8 hours with a written account of the work and its results. No written or printed aids are to be used. One mark is given for each of these tests. The mark for the preliminary examination is the average of the marks received in the two oral tests and it must be at least seven. The mark in practical chemistry is not included in the final mark but in order to pass the examination it must be at least five. The practical test in chemistry may be taken separately provided it is taken during the examination term preceding that in which the oral tests are taken. 1ste Del (part I).—Anatomy is included in the first year of study in medicine partly because of its extensiveness in content and partly in preparation for the 12 months of continuous Hospital-Volontaer (hospital volunteer) service for which the student should register immediately after passing the preliminary examination. Preparation for part I of the Embedseksamen in medicine may be completed in five semesters after passing the preliminary examination. It includes a study of anatomy and physiology throughout the entire period, and after the completion of the hospital volunteer service a one-semester course in each of physiological chemistry and microscopic anatomy, and a course in dissection which normally requires at least 1 month of the student's full time. To be eligible for part I of the examination the student must present evidence from the instructors concerned showing successful completion of the courses in physiological chemistry and dissection. When lack of material has made it impossible to offer the course in dissection the student on the recommendation of the faculty may be excused from this course by the Ministry of Education. Part I of the examination consists of oral tests in anatomy, physiology, and physiological chemistry or biochemistry. One mark is given for each of these tests with that in anatomy counting double. To pass the examination the marks for part I and the average mark for the preliminary examination must equal together at least 5×6% = 32% points. 2den Del (part II).—After the completion of part I of the Embedseksamen in medicine, preparation for part II may be completed in seven semesters. The student immediately begins his clinical studies by participation in clinical propædeutics. Clinical work proper begins with clinical medicine, which is followed in successive semesters by clinical courses in ophthalmology, otolaryngology, epidemic diseases, skin and venereal diseases, psychiatry, and children's diseases. During the year following the completion of part I the student should complete a one-semester course in each of bacteriology and hygiene. Preparation for part II of the examination includes also study of the theoretical subjects, general pathology, pathological anatomy, and pharmacology as well as lecture courses in theoretical medicine and surgery. The final year of study in medicine is devoted usually to the completion of the required clinical courses in surgery and the required course in immunity. The work includes also practical instruction in obstetrics and surgical operations, medical and surgical lecture clinics, instruction in legal medicine, and examination classes in theoretical medicine and surgery. In order to make practical use of his instruction the student is advised to serve for a while, if possible, during vacations as a tjenestegörande Praktikant (active practitioner or practicant) at the medical and surgical clinics. Part II of the examination includes: (a) A written test in each of pathology, surgery, and medicine. (c) An oral test in each of general pathology, pathological anatomy, Part II of the examination may be taken in two sections with an intervening period of not more than 1 year. Section I includes general pathology, pathological anatomy, and pharmacology; section II, the remaining subjects. To be eligible for part II of the Embedseksamen in medicine the student must present evidence of successful completion of one-half year of clinical work in each of medicine, surgery, diseases the of skin and venereal diseases, opthalmology, otolaryngology, epidemic diseases, psychiatry, and children's diseases; also of the courses in bacteriology, hygiene, and immunity. In addition, he must have passed clinical examinations in skin and venereal diseases with special reference to their diagnosis and treatment, in pediatrics, and in the nursing and care of children, after the completion of the clinical course concerned. The question or proposition for the written test in each of pathology, surgery, and medicine is selected at a meeting of the faculty and censors from among three questions made out by the professor of the subject concerned. For answering the question the student may be allowed a period of not more than 6 hours. The oral test in a subject may last up to three-quarters of an hour. Not more than 5 years may intervene between each of the three parts of the examination except that when part II includes examination in both sections at the same time 6 years may intervene between parts I and II. Each of the three parts of the examination may be retaken, but only in the regular order. Thus if the student has completed examination in part II he cannot retake only part I, nor can he retake only the preliminary examination after completing part I. For a reexamination in the preliminary examination the student must wait one-half year after his first attempt; for a reexamination in parts I and II, 1 year. If more than 5 years have passed between the examination in part I and in section II of part II, part II cannot be retaken without reexamination in part I. The marks used in grading this examination are listed below with the numerical equivalent for each; The Specialkarakter (special mark) for each subject is the average of the 3 marks for the subject given by the examiner and by each of the 2 censors. Hovedkarakteren or the final mark for the Embedseksamen is the sum of the average mark for each of the 3 parts of the examination and is expressed on the basis of its numerical value in 1 of the following terms: Laudabilis et quidem egregie.___. 18 X14/%2 =261 Haud illaudabilis Imi Gradus______ 18 X 61⁄2 = 117 Haud illaudabilis IIdi Gradus_____ 32% +(13×5)=971⁄2 If the student receives less than 97% as his Pointsantal (total number of points) he has ikke bestaaet Eksamen (not passed the examination). If a student receives÷22 in a test in a subject, he is immediately dropped. Before a candidate in medicine has the right to practice as an obstetrician he must obtain a saerligt Bevis (special certificate) from the faculty of medicine showing that he has completed in full at the Rigshospital the course in obstetrics for candidates. Eksamen for Embedslaeger (examination for Government physicians or civil-service examination for physicians).— Embedslaeger in Denmark are employed by the Government either as Amtslaeger (county physicians) or as Kredslaeger (district physicians) and serve as connecting links between the regular physicians, dentists, druggists, and others engaged in medical work, and the Department of Health. Appointment as Embedslaeger is dependent on having passed the civil-service examination for physicians offered at the university. The examination is conducted by a committee consisting of the university instructors in each of hygiene, legal medicine, general pathology, psychiatry, and venerealogy; the medical director; the director of the National Serum Institute; also a lawyer or physician as instructor in medical legislation, and a physician as instructor in medical administration and social-hygienic legislation. The last two are appointed by the Minister of Education on the recommendation of the other members of the committee. The committee selects its own chairman who serves in that capacity for a period of 3 years. To be eligible for the Eksamen for Embedslaeger one must present evidence: (a) Of having passed the Embedseksamen in medicine and of having completed the required course in obstetrics at Fodselsstiftelsen (Obstetrics Foundation). (b) of having completed the 12 months of general hospital routine and either meanwhile or thereafter of having served for at least 3 months at a divison for epidemic diseases, approved by the examination committee. (c) Of having served for at least 3 months at a division for the mentally defective, approved by the examination committee. (d) of having been engaged in practice in the country or in a small town for at least 3 months. (e) Of thereafter having completed a special course in each of hygiene with medical statistics, legal medicine, legal psychiatry, microbiology with epidermology, and the diagnosis and treatment of venereal diseases; and of having had instruction for one semester in medical legislation and in medical administration and social-hygienic legislation. To these courses which are offered every second year only a limited number of Laeger (physicians) are admitted. At present the number is limited to 15. The selection is based first, on the results of the Embedseksamen in medicine and, second, on seniority. DET TEOLOGISKE FAKULTET (THE FACULTY OF THEOLOGY) DEGREES IN THEOLOGY The degrees conferred by the faculty of theology are: Candidatus theologiae (candidate in theology) usually written "cand. theol.", requires about 6 years of study beyond the Studentereksamen and success in the teologiske Embedseksamen (professional examination in theology). Den teologiske Doktorgrad (doctor theologiae) doctor of theology usually written "dr. theol.", may be attained by a cand. theol. who has received a grade of förste Karakter (first mark) for his Embedseksamen in theology after the production and public defense of a thesis on a self-selected subject based on personal investigation and research of some phase of his major field. EXAMINATIONS IN THEOLOGY To be eligible for examination in the faculty of theology one must have passed the Studentereksamen. If this was passed in the modern language line the student must pass a Tillaegspröve (supplementary examination) in Greek based on a three-semester course; if the student is a graduate of the mathematics-science line he must pass not only the abovementioned supplementary examination in Greek but also a supplementary examination in Latin based on two semesters of preparation beyond the requirements of the middle school examination in this subject. In addition to the supplementary examinations the student is required to pass two preliminary examinations; the general |
