Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

The purpose of the lesson is to enable the medical student to take a appropriate history and get the necessary communication skills to be used in general medicine together with general signs and symptoms of common internal and surgical diseases, which will enable the future clinicians to organise the patient's story, filter the information which links to common internal and surgical disorders by means of clinical reasoning, to fully understand the patient's present health status and to form a provisional diagnosis.

Course Content:

Within this course, History taking and communication skills in general medicine together with general signs and symptoms of common internal and surgical diseases will be studied.
