About Study Course
Objective
To provide theoretical knowledge and practical skills in genetics and metabolic diseases, molecular diagnostic methods in the field of congenital diseases associated with endocrine syndromes area. Newborn screening. Students acquire genetic methods of investigation, the investigation of metabolic diseases algorithms.
Learning Outcomes
Knowledge
1.After a study of the course the resident will be able to carry out: congenital problem of early diagnosis, differential diagnosis, to understand the basic principles of treatment, patients in long-term surveillance tactics.
Skills
1.Completion of study course residents will be able to: - To evaluate the molecular diagnostic methods, genetic metabolic disease diagnosis. Diagnosed with endocrine diseases linked hereditary syndromes - Practical genetic and metabolic tests use children's endocrine and metabolic disease diagnosis.
Competences
1.By combining theoretical knowledge with practical skills, a resident will be able to implement them in a single integrative understanding of children's endocrine diseases in association with genetic diseases and syndromes, using the knowledge acquired children's endocrine pathology in the differential diagnosis.
