| Learning Outcomes | |||||||||
| Knowledge: | As a result of completing the study course, students obtain knowledge, which allows: • to recognise congenital and acquired musculoskeletal pathologies in childhood, define aetiology, pathogenesis, diagnostic and treatment tactics, as well as prevention thereof; • to define the specifics of paediatric traumatology and orthopaedics and the main differences from adult traumatology and orthopaedics. | ||||||||
| Skills: | As a result of completing the study course, students will be able: • to take anamnesis in high quality; • to perform a general clinical examination of the patient; • to analyse the data obtained; • to develop an individual examination plan for the patient; • to develop a plan for the pre- and post-operative care of the child, formulate possible complications and options for the prevention thereof in the post-operative period; • to formulate and justify an expanded clinical diagnosis based on differential diagnosis, and formulate treatment tactics (indications for conservative and operative treatment). | ||||||||
| Competencies: | To independently develop a pre- and post-operative care plan for the child, formulate possible complications and how to prevent them; To formulate and justify an expanded clinical diagnosis based on differential diagnosis, and formulate treatment tactics (indications for conservative and operative treatment). | ||||||||
