| Objective Objectives/Desired Results: |
Description of the Level of Learning Outcomes according to the Qualifications Framework of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA): Students, after a successful examination, have proven knowledge and understanding of subjects in the field of Emergency Medicine (PPS level). The knowledge and skills they acquire are at level 6 (1st study cycle) of the European Qualifications Framework (EQF).
The purpose of the course is for the students to obtain specialized knowledge on Emergency Medicine issues so that they become fully competent in dealing with sudden and life-threatening situations. The modern physician must have knowledge and skills that will ensure both the harmonious functioning of the team and the provision of quality care to the seriously ill patient.
Emergency Medicine is a constantly changing field, where clinical experience with upgraded knowledge are the two important poles in which the modern physician should move. Through the emergency medicine course, the student will gain both clinical experience by participating in Clinical Emergency Medicine tasks under the supervision of experienced instructors and upgraded knowledge through high-level lectures. Each course will provide a brief review of pathophysiology, physical examination, diagnostic tests, collaborative management and interventions, as well as information on further patient management specific to each condition or management strategy.
Upon successful completion of the course, students will be able to:
1. become familiar with the organization of the emergency department, as an area for crisis management, triage and reception of patients, initiation of inpatient care, as well as promotion of patients to other Departments,
2. describe and understand the most frequent emergency situations and the importance of the first critical hours, evaluate information about the health status of patients and develop critical thinking in clinical diagnostic and therapeutic issues,
3. to provide timely and personalized care to patients in relation to the needs arising from the main underlying health problem and co-existing diseases,
4. to develop skills of cooperation, coordination and active participation in the interdisciplinary therapeutic team of the Emergency personnel.
General Skills
The course aims to:
• Search, analysis and synthesis of data and information (practical and theoretical)
• Skills development
• Decision making
• Autonomous work
