About Study Course
Objective
To provide theoretical knowledge and practical skills of congenital and acquired immune deficiency in the field of practical skills in various endocrine diseases of immune-genetic and molecular diagnostics. Students learn the immunological therapy and diagnostic principles.
Learning Outcomes
Knowledge
1.After a study of the course the resident will be able to navigate the endocrine diseases in immunology, immune deficiency states, substitution therapy, primary immunodeficiency differencial diagnostics and endocrine complications secondary immunodeficiency to endocrine disease.
Skills
1.Completion of study course residents will be able to: Immunograms interpretation to immune deficiency Navigate endocrine diseases of immune-genetic investigation and interpretation of data.
Competences
1.By combining theoretical knowledge with practical skills, a resident will be able to implement them in a single integrative understanding of children's endocrine diseases immunogenetic using the acquired knowledge of children endocrine pathology in the differential diagnosis.
