  • Able to distinguish the main diseases of the urogenital system
  • Uses acquired knowledge inany subspecial ty related to the subject.
  • Work with fellow students to approach the importance of collaboration and scientific debate by actively participating in discussion groups.

GENERAL SKILLS

Students must acquire communication skills in order to effectively discuss sensitive issues with patients. They must also have the basis of problem-solving skills for complex conditions. In addition, must be able to work effectively with other medical professionals, such as primary care physicians, surgeons, and radiologists.
