Specific entry requirements
The course Introduction to The physician profession as well as the component ”Basic structure and development- from eggs to embryo” in the course the healthy human 1.
A student failing due to shortage in knowledge, skills or attitudes, thus jeopardising patient safety and/or trust in medical care, can be assigned to a new clinical placement only after having completed objectives set in the individual plan.
Objectives
Learning Outcomes
The general aim of the course is that student should acquire basic knowledge and proficiencies about the body's normal structure and function from cell- till organlevel based on a cohesive image of the healthy human's function system. The student should also acquire attitude of significance for the continued medicine programme and the physician profession.
Learning outcomes
Knowledge and understanding is structured after the SOLO taxonomy (S1-S4) and the skills according to Miller's pyramid (M1-M4) (see last in the course syllabus). Knowledge and understanding
The student should be able to:
- account for structure and function from cell- till organlevel with respect to blood, circulation, respiration, hematopoiesis, skin, immune system, temperature regulation, urinary organs, body fluids, endocrine system, reproductive organs and musculoskeletal system, be able to account for and analyse how these systems interact in the control of the internal environment of the body as well as be able to discuss how changed structure and function in the systems can lead to disease. (S3)
- describe individual-, gender- and agerelated differences in structure and function of the included systems as well as account for different ways to study the structure and function of the different systems. (S2)
- account for basic mechanisms for team effort and leadership (S2)
- account for psychological mechanisms in the meeting with the patient for gender aspects and inter-cultural communication for basic concepts in medical psychology as well as for professional ethical rules. (S2) (PD, PV).
- account for the theoretical background as well as methodology for study of heart, peripheral pulses, blood pressure, lungs, lymph nodes as well as the thyroid gland. (S2)
Skills
The student should be able to:
- carry out simple physical examinations respect heartbeat, blood pressure, respiratory sound, lymph nodes, thyroid gland as well as function tests of joints and musculature. (M3)
- identify anatomical structures on dissected bodies plastic models and in radiological images as well as tissues and organs in histological preparations. (M3)
- distinguish ethical problems and be able to analyse and argue rationally around them. (M2) (PD, PV)
- hold a conversation with patients and apply open listening for the patient's spontaneous medical history according to the method of patient-focused communication as well as be able to respond to both patients and other concerned in a respectful way. (M3) (PV, PD)
- apply recommendations for living habits such as physical activity in disease prevention and illness treatment (FYSS) in practical patient care. (M2) (PV)
Attitudes
The student should be able to:
- demonstrate a critical attitude to how knowledge of current organ- and functionsystems has been received as well as be able to separate scientifically based knowledge from proven experience.
- reflect on different interests and agendas in health care. (PD, PV)
- act respectful against patients, other students, teachers and staff as well as take active responsibility for one's own learning and professional development.
Content
The topic-specific core of the course consists of the basic scientific disciplines histology, macroscopic anatomy, medical biochemistry, physiology and immunology. Furthermore, elements from the clinical disciplines anaesthetics, urology, endocrinology, pediatrics, obstetrics, gynaecology, orthopaedic surgery and family medicine as well as the subject areas team and leadership and psychology occur.
Both basic science and clinically active teachers participate in the course.
The course is divided into six components.
The chemistry, production and effects of hormones, and the regulation of hormonal systems. The histology and anatomy of the reproductive organs. Sex differentiation. The morphology and function of germ cells. The effects and regulation of gonadal hormones. Fertilisation. Pregnancy.
The human in movement, 4 hp The component contains: The histology and anatomy of the musculoskeletal system as well as basic kinesiology (movement theory). The basic structure of the motor function (neuronal control, reflexes). Exercise physiology and effects of physical training. Professional development and primary care, 1.5 hp The component contains:
Basic concepts in medical psychology with respect to psychological mechanisms, adherence, emotions and coping strategies. Gender Medicine and inter-cultural communication. Team and leadership. Workshop with mentor including individual selfassessment. Integration and exam, 7.5 hp The component involves integration, repetition and that in an examination summarise all intended learning outcomes of the course. Primary care, 1.5 hp The component contains: Patient-focused working methodology and physical examination in placement.
Teaching methods
As support for the learning during the course is given the following teacher-supervised/teacher-supported resources: lectures, group assignments, project work, seminars, workshops, laboratory sessions, dissections, microscopy exercises, demonstrations, proficiency training as well as placement. Not teacher-supervised studies take place in the form of individual studies, reflection and studies.
Teaching in English can occur.
Examination
All learning activities that include formative feedback are compulsory.
The blood, the immune system, muscle, circulation & respiration Compulsory parts:
Presentation project work blood, seminar the immune system, seminar muscle, seminar heart & circulation and seminar respiration.
Readiness assurance test (TUM) 1 and 2- formative web-based written examinations in circulation & temperature regulation or respiration. Examination:
Written examination including all of component 1
Urinary organs, body fluids, the endocrine system and reproduction Compulsory parts:
Presentation group assignment the buffers of the blood, integration seminar for urinary organ & body fluids. TUM 3- formative web-based written examination in urinary organ & body fluids.
TUM 4- formative web-based written examination the extensive endocrine system and reproduction. Examination:
Written examination- individual examination on anatomical models and preparations or histological preparations, including anatomy and histology of the blood, the immune system, circulation, respiration, urinary organs, the endocrine system & reproduction.
Human in motion Compulsory parts:
Seminar with presentation and discussion of case from PV. Examination:
Web-based written examination the histology of the extensive musculoskeletal system.
Written examination- individual examination with anatomical models and preparations of the anatomy of the entire musculoskeletal system.
Professional skills (PU) Compulsory parts:
Workshop with mentor including formative assessment, seminar about team and leadership, seminar about medical psychology and seminar about gendermedicine and inter-cultural communication. Examination:
Passed achievement in PU-seminars.
Web-based written examination extensive neurosurgical nursing and inter-cultural communication.
Primary care (PV) Compulsory parts:
All placement. Examination:
Passed placement according to assessment item.
Integrated examination
Written examination
To write the integrated examination all compulsory learning activities, excepted PV and seminar with presentation of case from PV as well as PD, need to be completed.
Course Coordinator assesses about and if so how absence from compulsory activity can be completed. Absence from a compulsory activity can imply that the student can not complete the occasion until next time the course be given.
Limitations of the number of examinations or practical training sessions
Student who is not passed after regular examination has a right to participate at further five examinations. If the student has carried out six failed examinations/test be given no additional examination. regarding placement components have the student right to go through these two (2) times.
Examiner can with immediate impact interrupt a student's placement (placement) or the equivalent if the student shows such serious deficiencies in knowledge, skills or attitudes that the patient security or the patients' trust for the healthcare are jeopardised. When placement is interrupted like this, it implies that the student fails on current component and that a placement is consumed. In such cases, an individual action plan should be established, which states the activities and examinations that are required before the student is given possibility to a new placement on this course.
Transitional provisions
If a course has been closed down or undergone major changes, at least two additional examinations (excluding regular examinations) in the previous contents are provided during a period of a year from the date of the change.
Other directives
Course evaluation takes place according to the guidelines that have been stated by the Board of education at Karolinska Institutet.
