About Study Course

Objective

The objective of the course is to provide medical residents with in-depth knowledge of anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, statistics appropriate for the specialty of anesthesiologist, reanimatologist, as well as ensure the development of clinical skills most commonly used in the specialty in a pre-clinical simulated environment.

Learning Outcomes

Knowledge

1.Medical residents are able to demonstrate in-depth knowledge and understanding of medical theory in anatomy, physiology, pharmacology and statistics that meets the requirements of the specialty of anaesthesiology and intensive care. In clinical practice and partly in research, medical residents develop the foundations of creative thinking and the skills to work in a multidisciplinary team.

Skills

1.Medical residents are able to successfully demonstrate and perform the manipulations covered in the study course in a pre-clinical setting (using dummies and simulation equipment).

Competences

1.The medical resident is able to successfully integrate the acquired theoretical knowledge and skills in the treatment of patients in a clinical setting.
