Examination Methods
Oral examination on each of the three main topics (excitable membranes and skeletal muscle, cardiovascular system, respiratory system), with one question by each of three examiners, or two questions by each of two, depending on availability. Each examiner will propose a mark in thirties that will result in an arithmetic mean.
