ORGANOGENESIS – PROBLEMS AND CLINICAL APPLICATIONS

B. For the seminars:
In each tutorial, students delve into the theoretical background of the laboratory exercises that will follow. Student performance during tutorials is taken into account in the final assessment. The material of the tutorials is examined together with the laboratory examination.

C. For the lecture material: Written Exams with multiple choice questions. The course exams are written, last 2 hours and consist of multiple choice questions. The material to be examined is lectures and training material as described above.

Final grade:
The final grade of the course is calculated as the sum of the grade of the written exams of the course and the grade of the Laboratory written exams.

The course is an essential tool of the undergraduate curriculum for students to understand the basic principles of the beginning of life which is the subject of Embryology.
The course material aims to fully understand all the principles of Embryology, Organogenesis and congenital disorders, and to introduce students to the basic clinical concepts of the development of the structures of the human body.
Also, it refers to the concept of acquiring students' inductive thinking which is deemed necessary for the proper initiation of students to the function of the Doctor.
In this sense, the course is the basis on which the student will be able to understand and come into contact with other courses of the study program (anatomy, histology, basic anatomical and embryological principles of all preclinical and clinical special courses).
Finally, the aim of the course is for the students to understand the importance of Organogenesis and the complaints of constitution in the context of understanding clinical specialties such as Obstetrics and Gynecology, Embryo-Uterine Medicine and Neonatology and in the context of obtaining a degree in the above specialties.
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will:
• Has understanding and knowledge of the basic principles of Embryology, Organogenesis, and Embryo-Uterine Medicine as well as knows the main congenital anomalies.
• Has knowledge of the material of the Organogenesis course and related anomalies.
• Is able to distinguish embryos and their structures, and their development during fetal life.
• To use the terms correctly and to combine the basic knowledge with the basic principles of related subjects such as Anatomy and Histology, Obstetrics, Gynecology as well as Neonatology.
• To organize, analyze and correctly present the induction (principle of creation of the tissues of the human body) and their maturation into the final structures-tissues of the human body knows the pathophysiology and explains embryologically the congenital disorders of constitution.
• Can collaborate with fellow students to write papers and conduct basic research for presentation at student conferences.

General Skills

The Embryology Laboratory organizes courses, workshops, post-training meetings and actively participates in research and inter-university conferences which aim and have as main priorities:
 The promotion of knowledge and medical ethics, with rules of ethics, which will serve the modern needs of the student-future doctor as well as the needs of society.
 The promotion of knowledge and research, within a free academic environment, aiming at the highest quality educational level.
 The conduct of high-level research, which will be published in modern Medical Journals with a recognized research project and will be recognized internationally.
 The education of male and female students so that they understand the modern form of Medical thought, the way of approaching the patient and the physiology and pathophysiology of various diseases, the way of conducting research, the theories and methodological approaches related to modern Embryology and the methods of studying the embryo in its various stages of development.
 The expansion of collaborations at the educational and research level with other educational and research departments-institutions of the country and abroad, with the aim of updating the way of teaching and Medical research.
 Ensuring guarantees that teaching staff have the ability to teach and conduct research.
Finally, we aim at the proper preparation of male and female students, capable of further proper continuation of their studies within our university as well as their successful careers in the difficult arena of their working life
