Deputies in a state of legislative emergency agreed with the proposal of the Ministry of Health. Newly, if this law comes into force, medical students will be able to hold the position of practical nurse. So far, they could work as health care assistants or nurses. After completing 8 semesters of general medicine, medstudents will have to pass exams in the subject of nursing or patient care.
Filip Hrdlička, a student coordinator from 3 FM CU adds that increasing the competencies of medical students is one of the good things that this pandemic has brought.
