General entry requirements.

On completion of the course, the student should be able to:

• describe some global public health problem
• explain underlying prevention and causes i.e. aetiology and genesis mechanisms to diseases based on scientific grounds
• describe basic pathological conditions and how they influence the body function i.e. pathophysiology, in commonly occurring acute or chronic diseases and the symptoms for these disease
• based on the clinical picture give examples of diagnostic methods and treatments based on evidence
• account for laboratory analyses that can be related to future professional work

Course starts with a global health perspective where students are given possibility to discuss global health issues. Based on disciplinary foundation is studied pathological conditions where emphasis come to lie at diseases that can diagnose at radiological clinic. Starting point is pathological conditions of the adult individual and condition that have importance for treatment of patient in connection with radiological study.

Course starts with a global health perspective where students are given possibility to discuss global health issues. Based on disciplinary foundation, pathological conditions is studied where emphasis come to lie at diseases that can diagnose at radiological clinic. Starting point is pathological conditions of the adult individual and condition that have importance for treatment of patient in connection with radiological study. Course is divided therefore in following components:

Aim with component is that students should be able to describe global health problems and socio-cultural factors that influence people' living conditions.

During component are studied cell lesion cell death inflammation and healing because students should be able to describe basic lesions and how these influence body's function.

Students should in this component can account for prevention and underlying causes i.e. aetiology and genesis mechanisms to diseases in heart and vascular system. Student should also can give examples of diagnostic methods and laboratory analyses based on clinical picture. Examples of diseases that are studied are both artery that vein diseases and respect heart heart attack and changes in heart

Students should in this component can account for prevention and underlying causes i.e. aetiology and genesis mechanisms to infectious diseases obstructive lung diseases and tumours in lungs. Student should also can give examples of diagnostic methods and laboratory analyses based on clinical picture.

Students should in this component can account for underlying causes i.e. aetiology and genesis mechanisms to degenerative changes, MS, infarction, bleedings and tumours. Student should also can give examples of diagnostic methods and laboratory analyses based on clinical picture.

Students should in this component can account for underlying causes i.e. aetiology and genesis mechanisms to diseases in urinary tract. Student should also can give examples of diagnostic methods and laboratory analyses based on clinical picture.

Students should in this component can account for underlying causes i.e. aetiology, genesis mechanisms to diseases in liver, biliary tracts and pancreas as well as thick and small intestine. Student should also can give examples of diagnostic methods and laboratory analyses based on clinical picture

Students should in this component can account for underlying causes i.e. aetiology and genesis mechanisms to diseases and trauma in locomotive organs such as fractures and degenerative changes and tumours. Student should also can give examples of diagnostic methods based on clinical picture.

Course come to utilise the educational method so called Flipped classroom where student based on instructions prepare before lectures and seminars that are in course.

Course Coordinator assesses about and if so how absence from compulsory education can be recovered. Before student participated in the compulsory elements or recovered absence in accordance with the instructions of Course Coordinator can not learning outcomes be reported.

Course is assessed through written individual examination. To pass course is required approved result on all included components..

Student who is not passed after regular examination have the right to participate at further five examinations. In connection to the course three occasions will be given One within the course, one during the following re-examination. The third opportunity is provided before the beginning of the next semester, or in close connection to that. In certain cases, it is required that the student submits an exemption application before he/she get the results of his/her latest completed examination. Three more opportunities will be provided as described above when the course is run next time.

If student implemented six failed examinations are given no additional examination. As examination, the times been counted student participated in one and the same test. Submission of blank exam is counted as examination. Examination to which student registered but not participated be counted not as examination.

The student may be examined according to a previous syllabus within a year after the date when a close-down or major changes of the course was decided.

Course evaluation will be carried out in accordance with the guidelines established by the Board of Education at Karolinska Institutet.
