Anatomy, biology, histology, microbiology, virology, immunology, biochemistry, biology, parasitology, physiology, pathologic physiology, pathologic anatomy, propaedeutic, pharmacology.
Learning Outcomes
Knowledge
1.Students will be able to classify infectious diseases by etiological, epidemiological, clinical characteristics, to formulate diagnostic methods necessary for verification of infectious diseases, to analyse test results and to define the amount of required individual and public health care in the context of dentistry.
Skills
