Abstract

Workshops in education play an important role in enabling, experiencing and dealing with practical
things. They offer training in up to date issues concerning the health system, technological development
and recent epidemiological changes in the rise of specific disease entities. In particular workshops have a
special role in medicine and offer an opportunity to stay updated with the latest developments in medicine
and health care.
In this study we aimed to perform a research on the current state of basic and clinical courses for medical
students in University of Tetovo, North Macedonia.
The study was conducted using a research methodology and reliable sources were found from primary
sources, from a workshop in the Radiology field for medical students in March 2023 and from a
questionnaire made in April 2023. We collected and interpreted the data from medical students who have
been participants in different workshops.
Medical degree programmes have to be able to provide workshop through their accredited system, where
students will be able to get the updated education in specific medical topics. The University of Tetovo has
continuously supported various workshops through different organisations. Nevertheless, in our opinion
there has to be an official body that grans ECTS to these workshops.
