Endocrine Diseases II (REN_004)
About Study Course
Objective
To provide medical residents with the possibility to acquire theoretical knowledge and practical skills in diagnosis, differential diagnosis of endocrine diseases, to recognise various congenital and acquired endocrine syndromes. To broaden the knowledge obtained in the study course “Endocrine Diseases I”, as well as extend it by focusing on complications of diabetes mellitus, metabolic bone diseases and adrenal diseases.
Learning outcomes
1.The programme of the study course “Endocrine Diseases II” is mastered in the planned scope,
During the training a medical resident has worked in a specialised endocrinology department and outpatient endocrinologist’s room under supervision of an endocrinologist having the right to teach,
A medical resident has participated in medical residents’ seminars and lectures, prepared clinical presentations for the morning meetings and participated in the training process of students on a regular basis,
A medical resident is able to understand thoroughly and analyse the role of hormones in normal development and ageing of the body, is competent in pathology of different endocrine glands, knows their diagnostic, treatment and prevention methods.
A medical resident is able to assess and select the particular treatment tactics precisely, especially in the patients with diabetes mellitus and thyroid disorders.
1.To recognize and describe different endocrine disorders in people, to define the potential endocrine pathology, to systematise diagnostic examination and organise specific treatment.
To use the obtained knowledge individually in solution of medical problems, prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care of endocrine diseases. To make the practical manipulations skilfully, a medical resident has obtained skills to act in the organisation of health care, as well as in education and research;
To assess, detect and prevent the potential risk factors for various endocrine diseases;
To be competent in pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of endocrine preparations, especially in insulin therapy;
To understand and interpret different examination results (laboratory, radiological, morphological), be competent and apply conservative treatment and prevention methods of endocrine diseases in practice.
To be able to ensure dynamic care of patients with diabetes mellitus and training of patients (their relatives), to be able to diagnose early chronic complications of diabetes and to master their prevention methods. To detect metabolic bone diseases and adrenal diseases. To be able to apply adequate therapy in case of these diseases.
To evaluate special literature critically and justify their clinical decisions on the basis of evidence-based medicine.
1.During residency a physician – medical resident shall master performance of all foreseen manipulations and learn their interpretation. It is not realistic to specify a particular number of manipulations.
