Skills
1.Student will recognize and demonstrate skeletal bones, joints, muscle groups, organs, blood vessels and nerves, and other anatomical structures on the study aids used in anatomy studies; will be able to work with special literature.
Competences
1.Is able to independently formulate and critically analyze complex problems, justify decisions and, if necessary, carry out additional analysis; is able to select, analyze the necessary information and use it in the corresponding profession; able to work with colleagues, specialists and solve problems, make decisions; is able to show the place of the relevant professional field in the society and participate in its development.
