| Study course description | |||||||||
| Preliminary Knowledge: | Knowledge of main medical fields such as neurology, cardiology, orthopedics. | ||||||||
| Objective: | Disease management is a team-based aspect of medical practice that is patient centred, goal directed and aims to optimize patient function and quality of life, prevent complication and increase community participation. Medical students will be responsible for the care of patients with disabilities regardless of what field they choose to enter, because, in the present time, patients treated by virtually all specialities express rehabilitation needs. Students need to gain a basic knowledge of rehabilitation, assessment, recognising disabilities. | ||||||||
