All modules in the course are mandatory.

Absence Regulations for IKD:

Up to one day of VALID absence per week may be accepted, but no more than 4 days in total throughout the course.

If absence exceeds the permitted limit, an alternative arrangement may be offered provided the absence is limited in scope. In cases of extensive absence, the module must be retaken with a later cohort. It is up to the course instructor to assess the consequences based on the extent of the absence.

Documentation Requirements:

A maximum of 4 days may be self-certified. The student must submit a self-certification for valid absence by email to the module coordinator, with a copy to the study administration.

For absence exceeding 4 days, a medical certificate must be submitted to the study administration.

Consequences of Absence:

If absence exceeds one day per week, the student must immediately inform the module coordinator. The module coordinator determines how the absence may be made up.

If the absence is more extensive than can be accommodated through an alternative arrangement, or if due to its nature an alternative arrangement is not possible and it is considered significant, the absence and/or the OSCE exam must be retaken the following year. Passing the OSCE is a prerequisite for starting the rotation in the 9th semester.

What Constitutes Valid Absence:

Valid absence includes:

• The student’s own illness

• Caring for a sick child under 12 years of age

Other special circumstances, demanding student representative roles, political engagement, and elite athlete status must be clarified with the study administration in advance in order to be approved as valid absence.

Please remember quarantine regulations for rotations involving production animals after travel abroad. This is not considered valid absence.

Profession safety instruction will be taught during the modules. A form to work through and finnish for HMS training documentation has to be performed. The aim of the HMS questions is to confirm that the student has understood the HMS instructions given and that the student has the intention to follow these instructions. The HMS questions are found on Canvas and have to be correctly answered by the student within the second week of the module Clinical training.
