Dear Students,
The Centre for Occupational Medicine (hereinafter: GP’s Office) will handle the periodical health aptitude test in the spring semester between until the 31st March, 2024 for those students whose current health aptitude loses its validity during the upcoming spring semester (no later than the last day of the exam period of the spring semester of the academic year 2023/2024, namely by 28th June 2024) or the previous test expired earlier or who have had no previous test at all.
You may check the expiry date of your current health aptitude in Neptun – Studies – Training data – Training section – right side field of „End of health-aptitude test validity”, based on the official data was received from the GP’s Office.
The link for application is available on the website of the Centre for Occupational Medicine.
Period of testing: 27th January – 31st March 2024
We would like to call your kind attention to the consequences of not showing up at the examination or being qualified to be „not suitable” or „temporarily not suitable”, which serves as interdiction from activity in medical work and consequently leads to being banned from exam registration for the spring semester of the academic year 2023/2024.
Important to note that it is necessary to take a recently received chest x-ray result to the medical checkup. X-ray results are acceptable in Hungarian, English and German. Anyone who wishes to do the chest x-ray in Pécs, may handle it at the medical center in Lánc street (Lánc Utcai Rendelőintézet – Pécs, Lánc utca 12.). The medical center offers the option of having the x-ray done, according to the following:
- Open between 10:00 and 15:00, Monday to Friday
- For students without a valid student card, the cost of the chest x-ray is 1700 HUF,
- For participating in the x-ray, please have the following details written down on a piece of paper and bring it with yourself: full name (surname and given names), place of birth (country and town/city), date of birth, your mother’s maiden name (surname and given names), your Hungarian health insurance identifier (TAJ number) if you have one.
Due to limited number of spots which are provided by the GP’s Office, there is no guarantee that a missed appointment can be made up, therefore we kindly ask you to attend the one you have booked to avoid later hindrance in your study achievement. Also make sure you participate the testing by the 31st March 2024 at latest.
We are advising you to make your appointment early in the application period, not on the last weeks, since a warrant cannot be given for that free spots will be available still. For the period of examinations the GP’s Office will provide multiple appointments of the number of students that is reported by the Medical School, therefore a reasoning of lack of spots in the system due to late application cannot be considered and would not exempt from banning exam registration for the exam period.
Furthermore, we want to call your attention to Article 51 (12) of the Code of Studies and Examinations, according to which the student who fails to show up at a previously booked appointment, has to pay a fee for the absence.
We would like to highlight that students who will not have a valid health aptitude test by the start of the exam period of the spring semester (with an expiry date no earlier than the end of the exam period), would be unable to register for exams in Neptun. Therefore, please register for a spot at the soonest possible time and show up for the booked appointment.
Kind regards,
Registrar’s Office
University of Pécs Medical School
