Objective Objectives/Desired Results:
The course accounts for one of the basic pillars of Pathology.
The course content focuses on the development of clinical and critical consideration of the students.
Furthermore, it is related to clinical entities. In this regard, the course is the basis on top of which the student will be familiarized with cardiovascular diseases. Lastly, the goal of the course is the students’ comprehension of the importance of clinical manifestations, laboratory and imaging findings in a distinct scientific field/occupation.
After the course’s successful completion, the student will be capable of:
Understanding the mechanism, clinical picture and the laboratory findings of the common cardiovascular diseases.
Understanding of the clinical manifestations of the abovementioned diseases.
Distinguishing the basic treatment options for each one of the abovementioned diseases.
Selecting the best options (advantages and disadvantages) of the various imaging, laboratory and immunologic tests used for the diagnosis of the abovementioned diseases
Analyzing laboratory and imaging findings of the abovementioned diseases
Cooperating with his/her fellows in order to elaborate on a subject of the abovementioned diseases.
ECG
The course is a basic tool for students to gain knowledge and comprehend principles in the module of electrocardiography.
The course content focuses on the enhancement of knowledge gained at previous modules, it provides the basis for development, implementation of ideas and problem solutions in a new context related to the discipline.
Furthermore, it focuses on the ability of the students to combine knowledge and manage complex issues, as well as to express opinions, linked to the knowledge implementation. In this regard, the course constitutes the basis on top of which the student will be capable of disclosing with clarity their conclusions, as well as the knowledge and the rational based upon they rely on, both in specialized and non-specialized attendees.
Finally, the goal of the course is the comprehension from the students of the importance of specialized knowledge, especially novel knowledge in a distinct scientific field / occupation.
After the course’s successful completion, the student will be capable of:
Understanding the theory and principles.
Understanding his/her learning field and interconnection with other domains.
Distinguishing complex, unpredictable learning environments, which require different approach.
Using complex techniques or professional activities, with accountability for the decision making in unpredictable working environments.
Analyzing, evaluating and composing novel and sophisticated ideas.
Cooperating with his/her fellows as far as topics related to their scientific fields.
