Prerequisites

In order to take this subject, it is recommended that the students should previously have studied the pathophysiology of cardiovascular system, respiratory system and blood and lymphatic system. Additional knowledge of anatomy, genetics, molecular biology and pharmacology is also recommendable. Knowledge of psychological bases of health status and disease, and adequate knowledge of communication and ethics is also necessary. 

The student will preserve the confidentiality and the professional secret and will maintain an ethical attitude in all the activities of knowledge

Objectives and Contextualisation

Hematology:

 The students will reach the adequate knowledge of the diseases of blood and hematopoietic organs and will learn to interpret the hematologic abnormalities due to non-hematologic diseases. They will achieve knowledge of the hematologic diseases, their classification, risk factors and prevention , clinical picture and laboratory diagnosis, treatment (including stem cell transplantation and immunotherapy/cell therapy), as well as dieseases of the hemostatic system, the transfusion of blood and derivatives and the diseases of the spleen.

 

Cardiology:

 The students will achieve adequate knowledge of the pathophysiology of the diseases of hearth and great vessels. The student will learn to make a differential diagnosis using the adequate complementary tools (electrocardiogram, chest X ray film, echocardiogram, CT scan, MRI, and biochemical markers, among others). The diseases of the cardiovascular system, their risk factors and prevention, the pathophysiology and clinical picture of the diseases of myocardium, cardiac valves, pericardium, aorta and venous and lymphatic system. The principles and clinical use of diagnostic procedures and techniques used in Cardiology and cardiovascular surgery, the adequate treatment (medical, surgical or instrumental) and the rehabilitation procedures of patients with cardiovascular diseases.

 

Pneumology:

 The students will achieve adequate knowledge of respiratory diseases (congenital, acquired, due to dysfunction, toxics drugs, infections, allergy, occupational, ambient, accidental inhalation, neoplastic, traumatism or of unknown origin), their clinical picture, risk factors and prevention , the diagnostic techniques and procedures , their medical, surgical (including the lung transplant) or instrumental therapy, as well as the rehabilitation procedures.

Competences

  • Demonstrate understanding of the manifestations of the illness in the structure and function of the human body.
  • Establish a diagnostic approach and a well thought-out strategy for action, taking account of the results of the anamnesis and the physical examination, and the results of the appropriate complementary tests carried out subsequently.
  • Give the patient and/or accompanying persons the relevant information about the disease process, its bases and consequences, including bad news, in an appropriate way.
  • Indicate the basic diagnosis techniques and procedures and analyse and interpret the results so as to better pinpoint the nature of the problems.
  • Indicate the most suitable treatment for the most prevalent acute and chronic processes, and for the terminally ill.
  • Obtain and prepare a patient record that contains all important information and is structured and patient-centred, taking into account all age and gender groups and cultural, social and ethnic factors.

Methodology

 The setting, content methodology and general rules of MIC II according to the general study plan are herein described. The final organization of MIC II regarding the number and size of groups, calendar distribution, date of exams, specific criteria for evaluation and review of exams will be specifically indicated at each Docent Unit in their respective web pages, as well as by the responsible professors of MICII at each Docent Unit  

As a general rule for teaching methodology the theoretical classes and seminars should have a practical orientation avoiding when possible the magisterial class. They should be based on practical clinical cases and should be oriented to the training of general physicians, avoiding the concepts belonging to super specialization.

The professors responsible of MIC II for this course are:

In the current exceptional circumstances, at the discretion of the teachers and also depending onthe resources available and the public health situation, some of the theoretical classes, practicals and seminars organized by the Teaching Units may be taught either inperson or virtually.

Annotation: Within the schedule set by the centre or degree programme, 15 minutes of one class will be reserved for students to evaluate their lecturers and their courses or modules through questionnaires.

Assessment

The evaluation procedure of each matter of MIC II will consist of a written theoretical exam (40% of final score), evaluation through case studies and problem solving (40% of final score), analysis of clinical, cyto or histologic, radiologic EKG, or other image pictures (10% of final scores ) and evaluation of the attendance to the hospital practice (10%). The attendance and active participation in class and seminars will also be taken into account.

 

Theoretical exam (40%)

Restricted question or multiple choice questions can be used according to the criteria of each Hospital Teaching Unit

Case studies and problem solving (40%)

At least two clinical cases.

Pictures (10%)

Will be presented during the exam. A specific answer will be required

Hospital practice (10%)

The attendance is mandatory. A written signature by the professor will be required

 

If the student has not approved the exam of any of the matters of MIC II (minimal score 5) an additional exam with the same structure will be offered

The final score of MIC II will be the wetged mean of scores of the three matters (cardiology, neumology and hematology)
