Human Health and Disease: A Clinical Approach

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

The clinical approach of the course implies studying symptoms, signs, diagnostic methods and treatment of the most important human diseases, writing patient case reviews based upon medical records, and patient interviews, visiting various clinical and diagnostic hospital departments, and performing physical examinations on phantoms or other students. The course, however, does not provide regular medical training corresponding to that of medical students and does not include shadowing of doctors or physical examination of patients. Patient demonstrations are included in some, but not all, lectures.
