Learning Outcomes
Knowledge
1.Clinical infectology: Students will be able to characterise and classify infectious diseases according to their ethyological factor, associations with pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, the possibility of spreading and hazards to the individual and public health; describe and identify specific, typical, pathogenic and other symptoms; explain the investigation programme and systematise laboratory methods; formulate and explain the general principles of therapy; link the steps of the healthcare plan to individualised healthcare; explain today’s specific prevention principles to both the public and the individual. Ophthalmology: As a result of the completion of the study course, students acquire in-depth knowledge and are able to name and display in the means of view the anatomy of the auxiliary mechanisms of the eye, characterise the physiology of the eye and describe the ethiopatogenesis, epidemiology, clinic, principles and prognosis of diagnosis and treatment of the most common eye diseases. Anaesthesiology: As a result of the completion of the study course, students will be able to name and characterise anaesthesiology and intensive care methods, recognise and characterise shock (especially hypovolemic, anaphylactic, septic), be able to perform in-depth cardiopulmonary resuscitation, be able to name and characterise changes in pathophysiological and biochemical processes due to surgical trauma, the devastating effects of pain syndrome on the body and the transmission of nociceptive impulsion to CNS, describe types of pain syndrome blocking in reflector arc sections, the basic principles, types, benefits and side effects of anaesthesia, the specificities of the surgical patient’s pre-operative examination, the method of assessing the physical condition of the surgical patient with an ASA scale, as well as the basic principles and perioperative care of the surgical patient’s pre-operative preparation, critical conditions and the basics of intensive care.
Skills
1.Clinical infectology: Will be able to create a plan for medical activities aimed at laboratory and other types of diagnosis of an individual's disease; specific, etiological and other types of treatment; will be able to implement the prepared plan, taking into account epidemiological, life and disease anamnesis, laboratory examination and other data; will be able to evaluate the data obtained as a result of the physical examination; will be able to integrate laboratory examinations into the design of disease diagnostics; to plan the specific and non-specific preventive measures necessary to limit the spread of the disease.

Clinical Infectology: Preliminary preparation for each practical class (relevant topic). Opthalmology: independent work with ophthalmic specialist literature and e-study materials. Students independently check the visual acuity and perform an eye inspection in the gap lamp. Students record the results of the examinations. Anaesthesiology: Prior preparation of the topic of the relevant class using recommended literature and Internet sources, evaluation thereof and practical application in practical classes.

Clinical infectology: Assessment is based on the following components: the average grade across all classes (50%) and clinical case interpretation (50%). The assessment is conducted using a points-based grading system. Detailed assessment criteria and requirements are available in the e-studies platform. Opthalmology: examination work in each class, examination at the end of the course (knowledge assessment: credited/not credited). Upon completion of the study course OSKE – assessment in a 10-point system. Anaesthesiology: Assessment criteria for in-depth cardiopulmonary resuscitation, including defibrillation, for the dummy – the basic resuscitation algorithm should be known and practiced in assessing the safety of the area, reaction test, call for assistance, respiratory release, respiratory test, chest compression, artificial lung ventilation with manual ventilator, further preparing the defibrillator for work, heart rhythm analysis, defibrillator charging, defibrillation safety test, practical defibrillation, 2 minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, repeated heart rhythm analysis, pulse and respiratory testing, intravenous administration of medication, and a description of subsequent tactics. For airway permeability, the practical application of the devices to be used, rapid and atraumatic introduction to the correct airway, control and provision of ventilation and fixation of the tube input should be known. |
