Assessment: Final written exam with multiple choice questions (80-100%)

Short answer questions in clinical exercises despite the patient’s bed in relation to clinical or laboratory / imaging finding (0-10%)

Solving a clinical problem in clinical practice and in the interactive teaching of the amphitheater (0-10%)

The course is the main core of Internal Medicine

The course material aims at introducing students to clinical and critical thinking

It also refers to clinical entities. In this sense the course is the basis on which the student will learn various manifestations of clinical diseases.

Finally, the aim of the course is for students to understand the importance of clinical manifestations, laboratory and imaging findings in a distinct scientific field / profession.

Upon successful completion of the course the student will be able to:

• Analyzes basic data of epidemiology and pathogenesis of the basic diseases of rheumatology, gastroenterology, hematology, endocrinology, oncology and nephrology
• Describes manifestations of these diseases
• distinguish the basic treatment options for each of the above diseases
• selects (with advantages / disadvantages) imaging laboratory and immunological examinations for the diagnosis of the above diseases
• To combine manifestations with laboratory and imaging findings to diagnose one of the above diseases.
• Can work with his classmates to develop a theme of the above diseases

1. Basic data on the epidemiology and pathogenesis of nephrology, rheumatology, gastroenterology, hematology, oncology, and endocrinology.
2. Clinical Manifestations in the above diseases.
3. Laboratory findings in the above diseases
4. Imaging findings in the above diseases.
5. Prognosis and treatment data in the above diseases.
