Objectives of the Course
The objective of this course is for students to acquire the skills to take a comprehensive medical history and perform a systematic physical examination in adult patients, enabling them to correlate symptoms and findings with pathophysiological mechanisms and make a differential diagnosis. The course aims to teach the principles of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of common chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and atherosclerotic heart disease, as well as the management principles of fundamental diseases in subspecialties such as nephrology, gastroenterology, hematology, oncology, and rheumatology.
