Endocrine Diseases I (Including Diabetes Mellitus Training) (REN_014)
About Study Course
Objective
To provide medical residents with theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the diagnosis of endocrine diseases, differential diagnosis, recognition of various congenital and acquired endocrine syndromes, with particular focus on thyroid diseases and diabetes mellitus (including diabetes mellitus training).
Learning outcomes
1.Completion of the study programme within the prescribed scope of the first year of studies: attendance of all study courses, attendance of 80% or more of theoretical activities, successful completion of the final examination.
During training, the medical resident has worked in a specialised endocrinology department or consulting room, other specialised departments (during the study course) and consulting rooms, under the supervision of an endocrinologist who is qualified to train.
The medical resident has regularly participated in resident seminars and lectures, prepares presentations at clinic morning sessions, has prepared at least 4 clinical cases each year (submitted to the head of the RSU Department of Internal Diseases) and has participated in the student training process.
To understand in depth and analyse the role of hormones in normal development and ageing of the body, to understand the pathology of different endocrine glands, their diagnosis, treatment and prevention.
Demonstrates an in-depth and expanded knowledge and understanding of medicine in general, but in endocrinology they meet the requirements of the relevant specialty and are at the forefront of the scientific and professional field, providing a basis for creative thinking in clinical practice and partly in research, and the ability to work in interdisciplinary contact.
To recognise and describe different endocrine problems in humans. To define possible endocrine pathology, systematise diagnostic examinations and organise specific treatment.
1.To recognise and describe different endocrine problems in humans, to define possible endocrine pathology, systematise diagnostic examinations and organise specific treatment.
To assess, identify and prevent potential risk factors for the development of various endocrine diseases;
To be familiar with the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of endocrine agents, especially in insulin therapy;
To work with glycemic self-monitoring devices and analyse the diabetes patient’s diary;
To understand and interpret the results of various examinations (laboratory, radiological, morphological), to be familiar with and practically apply methods of conservative treatment and prevention of endocrine diseases;
To know how to perform dynamic care of diabetes patients and training of patients (their relatives), to evaluate early diagnosis of various late complications and to learn techniques for their prevention;
To critically evaluate specialised literature and base clinical decisions on evidence-based medicine.
1.Ability to independently apply acquired knowledge in solving medical problems, diagnosis, treatment, care and prevention of endocrine diseases. Ability to perform practical manipulations with skill. The medical resident has gained skills in working in a healthcare organisation as well as in education and research.
