About Study Course

Objective

To ensure acquisition and improvement of theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the basic courses of sports medicine: functional anatomy, biomechanics, sports morphology and sports biochemistry according to the requirements of sport medicine physicians’ specialty.

Learning Outcomes

Knowledge

1.Knowledge of the mutual relation of sports medicine as a multidisciplinary field of medicine and functional anatomy, biomechanics, sports morphology and sports biochemistry. Thorough theoretical and practical knowledge on the functioning of a human body during rest and physical load and recommendation of individually adjusted physical load and restrictions to patients.

Skills

1.Ability to reasonably select the most suitable examination methods in case of diseases or injuries, assess results of examinations and impact of different physical load on a patient’s body.

Competences

1.Competence in solving different clinical cases, their diagnostics, etiopathogenesis, treatment, prevention and care.

Theoretical knowledge is acquired in 8 seminars and individual literature studies. During practical classes students control patients under the supervision of a physician eligible to provide such training, participate in examination and treatment of a patient by mastering patient examination, as well as diagnostics and medical manipulations. A medical resident acquires different diagnostic methods of sports medicine and methodology of manipulations and invasive and non-invasive medical technologies also used in sports medicine physician’s practice.
