Course Objectives The aim of the course is to learn patient management in energy and metabolism disorders with clinical applications. Students are expected to perform appropriate techniques of history taking, physical examination, taking specimens for examination, assess laboratory tests and form algorithms for diagnosis and treatment. Students should apply these techniques in harmony with critical thinking and clinical decision-making principles along with ethical and legal responsibilities.
Learning Outcomes The students who succeeded in this course;
  • 1. Demonstrate abilities for convenient communication skills while taking patient history
  • 2. Perform a full physical examination of a patient along with genitalia
  • 3. List possible diagnoses among differential diagnosis
  • 4. Choose convenient and cost-effective laboratory tests
  • 5. Interpret test results correctly
  • 6. Build an evidence based and personalized treatment algorithm
  • 7. Demonstrate the ability of correct consultation and list the conditions that need specialization and centers to divert patients
  • 8. Perform risk assessment and take precautions
  • 9. Differentiate emergencies and perform correct procedures for the management of all emergencies
  • 10. Perform minor interventional procedures (i.e. blood drawing, intramuscular and intravenous injections, urinary catheterization, blood glucose measuring) along with simple suture and knot tying techniques
  • 11. Properly inform patient and relatives and take informed consent before interventions.
  • 12. Define the principles of management of nutritional disorders and basics of nutritional support
