Learning Outcomes
Knowledge
1.Students acquire in-depth knowledge of otorhinolaryngology, differential diagnosis of different ENT symptoms and syndromes; they comprehend the relation between systemic diseases and their manifestations in upper airways, hearing and balance system.
Skills
1.Students perform thorough examination of the patient with otorhinolaryngology symptoms, interpret the symptoms and describe the role of those symptoms in diagnosis of the disease. They draw up a treatment plan. Students are able to decide on the surgical and/or conservative treatment.
Competences
