Introduction

The sport plays a pivotal role in the health prevention.

Special knowledge in physiology, equipments, sport injuries required special training and these facts push forward the sports medicine to a subspecialisation.

The medicine in sport is a widely-known exam in the European Union but till now hasn’t been introduced as an independent discipline in medical faculties of the Universities in Hungary.

Requirements for the successful completion of the course: Participation at the lectures and practices are compulsory. The students’ attendances are checked with attendance sheet. If a student misses more than 30% of the lectures he has to take a stricter examination. There is no way to make up for the unjustified absence of a practice.

Forms of testing: written exam
