The teaching concentrates in the field of rheumatology on rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis, spondyloarthritis, autoimmune systemic diseases, vasculitis, metabolic diseases of the joint and bone. In the endocrinology the content is focused on dysfunction of endocrine organs and their metabolic impact, diabetes type I and II, metabolic syndrome, obesity and hyperlipoproteinemia.

The course focuses on providing the theoretical and practical foundations of the fields of hematology, nephrology, rheumatology, endocrinology, diabetology and selected metabolic disorders. The pathophysiology of diseases, their clinical picture, laboratory findings and examination methods leading to the diagnosis of these conditions, modern treatment and prognosis of these diseases are discussed. In the practical part, attention is paid to the expansion of practical skills in clinical examination, the preparation of medical reports, the interpretation of findings, established working and differential diagnoses and designing effective therapy and reducing the risk of their side effects.
Theoretical fundaments of hematology, nephrology a selected metabolic diseases. Widening of practical skills in clinical examination, elaboration of the reports, and construction of the diagnostic process. Interpretation of laboratory tests and diagnostic methods with the formulation of working and final diagnosis, effective disease management. |

Mark, Student performance
Active attendance at exercises and seminars, continuous assessment of the student's performance. Evaluation of the level of preparation. Final credit interview. Exam.

The practical training consists of the instruction of the teacher, the taking of patient's history, the physical examination of the patient, the compilation of documentation, the proposal of a diagnostic procedure and treatment plan. The part of practical teaching is also a description of X-ray findings, EKG curves and interpretation of available imaging and laboratory examinations. After the independent and teacher-supervised part of the work, there is a part dedicated to the discussion and analysis of the findings and issues of the patients with the teacher. Preparation for the practical training includes the study of recommended literature, reflecting the content discussed in the lessons. The participation in the activity is mandatory, excused absence 2 of 20 practical training and 4 of 40 seminars/lectures is tolerated, longer absence has to be substituted.
