I. General Information

I.1. Introduction

The first director of the Department of Psychiatry, Budapest Medical University, Prof.Károly Laufenauer was appointed in 1882. The department moved to the presently used building in 1908, which was renovated in 1994.

Currently 112 employees are working at the clinic (29 MDs, 38 nurses, 24 technical assistents, 21 administrators). The clinic provides neurological services on 105 beds for over 450 000 inhabitants of Greater Budapest. It has 2 special departments, the acute care unit (8 beds), and the cerebrovascular unit (30 beds). Special attention is paid to the diagnosis and treatment of movement diorders, neuromuscular and neuroimmunological diseases, headache, epilepsy, intracranial tumors.
In one year over 2800 patients are admitted, which is about 50% more than in the previous years. The clinic has one general and several special outpatient departments: cerebrovascular, headache, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis. The diagnostic work is supported by the following laboratories: clinical chemistry, rheology, CSF, immunohistochemistry, neuroptahology, ultrasound, EEG-EMG. In the radiology unit over 600 cranial angiogragphy is carried out each year. Psychologist, logopedics and physicotherapist help the diagnosis  and rehabilitation. Each year over 18000 patients attend the various outpatient departments.

About 1000 Hungarian, English and German graduate and postgraduate students are attending the Vth and VIth year courses each year. The teaching for the Hungarian and English classes covers 2 semesters, while for the German class one trimester.  Yearly about 10-15 doctoral theses are defended at our department.

Resident status and special postgraduate courses (clinical electrophysiology, neuroradiology, neuropathology) preceeding the National Board Exam are provided for 4-7 MDs every year. The clinic also organises over 10 other postgraduate courses of various themes. Our PhD programme is about to be accredited.

The main scientific interest of our department includes Parkinsons’s disease, cerebral circulation, degenerative disorders, prion disease, cognitive disturbances and headache. The department has got OTKA, FEFA, OMFB grants. During the last five years 25 books and book-chapters, 28 international and 62 national papers, as well as 48 abstracts were published by our colleagues. Important Hungarian and international connections provide firm background for further diagnostic and scientific development.

II. Neurology training in the 5th year

Neurology is a two-semester course. Students have altogether 30 practical lessons, 1.5 hour per week. There is one lecture per week (2x45 minutes). Students are allowed to miss a maximum of 3 practical lessons. The department offers a special course for interested students in practical neurology.

The following hospitals participate in teaching: SOTE Teaching Hospital in Buda, St. István Hospital, St. Imre Hospital, St. János Hospital, Hospital of Uzsoki utca, Hospital of Péterfy Sándor utca, Jahn Ferenc Hospital.

Students are expected to learn neurological patient examination, symptoms and disease localization, together with the most common causes of neurological diseases during the first semester. Neuroanatomy, the basis of neurology, is touched during both practical lessons and lectures. During the second semester the emphasis is on neurological disease groups and therapy.

The compulsory examination is at the end of the second semester. The examination has two parts: bedside patient examination and two theoretical questions. Examinations are held on three days of the week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday), with a maximum of 20 students per day.

Lectures are held by the following teachers of the department: Prof. Dr. Imre Szirmai, Prof. Dr. Mátyás Papp, Dr. Ilona Jelencsik, Dr. Annamária Takáts, Dr. András Folyovich, Dr. Anita Kamondi, Dr. Csaba Juhász, Dr. Zsuzsanna Arányi, Dr. Tibor Kovács.

Invited lecturers: Prof. Dr. Ferenc Mechler (DOTE), Prof. Dr. István Nyáry (OITI), Dr. Gábor Jakab (Hospital of Uzsoki utca), Prof. Dr. József Kenéz (OPNI), Prof. Dr. Attila Lipcsey (St. János Hospital).

In each year in May a "study competition" is held. It includes multiple choice questions, slides previously shown at lectures and presentation of patients, during which neurological symptoms must be recognized.

III.  Neurology training in the 6th year

All medical students have to appear on the first day of their practice of neurology at the university department, where their work schedule and assignment are described. The university department of neurology is able to receive 30 students during the three week training period. Students are allowed to preregister for these places at the university department in the months preceding their practice, however only in agreement with the study plan issued in the Office of Dean. The rest of the students are sent to other teaching hospitals: SOTE Teaching Hospital in Buda, St. István Hospital, St. Imre Hospital, St. János Hospital, Hospital of Uzsoki utca, Hospital of Péterfy Sándor utca, Jahn Ferenc Hospital.

During the training period two days of absence are allowed. In the university department students receive white coats and reflex hammers. They are requested to spend one day in the outpatient department and once to partake in emergency duty until 9.30 P.M. The work and activity of the students on the wards, outpatient department and during duty is evaluated on an assessment form by the appropriate doctors. This form must be presented at the office of the department at the end of the three week period, when the final evaluation is entered in the index. Students with individual study plans are allowed to register for any three week period. Those students wishing to spend their practice period abroad are required to obtain the permission of the Office of Dean and spend one week in the department before the examination.

Registration for the examination is possible even before the beginning of the study year. The date of examination can be modified only up to the week preceding the examination. In each examination period 5 days are assured, with a maximum of 15 students per day. The examination starts at 8 o'clock in the morning. Students must present their index, assessment form, case report and in case of retake of examination the authorization of the Office of Dean, in order to be admitted to the examination. On event of failing the earliest possible retake is during the next examination period.

Teachers of the department hold consultations in the following subjects, on days specified at the beginning of the training period.
