Information support of students through QR CODE in the disciplines of the Department of Anatomy, Histology and Normal Physiology

The disciplines “Normal physiology” and “Histology, cytology and embryology” of the Department of Anatomy, Histology and Normal Physiology for 2 years use QR CODE as a link to the cloud repository, which contains information about the educational and methodological support of these subjects: electronic versions of lectures (presentations), syllabus, e-books (in English), exam questions, etc. QR code (QR – Quick Response – Quick Response) is a two-dimensional bar code (bar code) that provides information for quick recognition using the camera on a mobile phone.
