Medicine and Surgery

Main teaching objectives: The course is focused on the main dermatology and plastic surgery concepts needed to be apprehended by every medical doctor. By the end of the course, the student must: ● Define terms relevant and common to the description of disorders of the skin, hair, nails and mucous membranes. ● Correlate cutaneous symptoms and signs with dermatologic diseases. ● Explain the approach to the diagnosis and evaluation of common and important cutaneous diseases. ● List and explain the typical findings, presentation, clinical course, natural history and complications of common and important cutaneous disorders. ● Describe the pathophysiology and major pathologic features as well as the epidemiology of common and important cutaneous diseases. ● Practice and demonstrate systematic skills of physical diagnosis to describe findings of patients with cutaneous disease. Requirements Good knowledge of normal human anatomy, anatomical pathology and human physiology is required. Teaching methods: Lectures and practical training. Professional Practical Activities (APP): non invasive diagnostic techniques: ELM-total body mapping-RCM-D-OCT-LC-OCT Learning outcomes: By the end of the course, the student must: ● Define terms relevant and common to the description of disorders of the skin, hair, nails and mucous membranes. ● Correlate cutaneous symptoms and signs with dermatologic diseases. ● Explain the approach to the diagnosis and evaluation of common and important cutaneous diseases. ● List and explain the typical findings, presentation, clinical course, natural history and complications of common and important cutaneous disorders. ● Describe the pathophysiology and major pathologic features as well as the epidemiology of common and important cutaneous diseases. ● Practice and demonstrate systematic skills of physical diagnosis to describe findings of patients with cutaneous disease Contents: • Anatomy and Physiology • Elementary Lesions of the Skin • Skin Semiology • Parassitary Dermatosis • Dermatophyte Infection • Candida Infection • Viral Infections (Hsv and Vzv, Papilloma Virus) • Pityriasis Versicolor • Pyodermitis • Rosacea • Pityriasis Rosea of Gilbert • Connective Tissue Disease • Allergic Contact Dermatitis and Irritant Contact Dermatitis • Atopic Dermatitis • Prick and Patch Tests • Urticaria • Psoriasis • Seborrheic Dermatitis

Learning Objectives The course is designed to provide students with fundamental knowledge in dermatology and plastic surgery that every physician should possess in clinical practice. At the end of the course, students will be able to: Use correct and appropriate terminology related to diseases of the skin, hair, nails, and mucous membranes. Correlate dermatological signs and symptoms with the most common and clinically significant skin diseases. Describe the diagnostic approach and evaluation criteria for the most frequent dermatological conditions. Identify, analyse, and present the clinical features, course, and possible complications of major skin diseases. Perform a dermatological physical examination, accurately describing and classifying skin lesions in patients with dermatological disorders. Prerequisites Students are expected to have prior knowledge of: Human Anatomy Pathological Anatomy Human Physiology
