| Methods and Techniques | During the Cardiology internship, students will receive both theoretical and practical training. The educational activities will include participation in clinical ward rounds, outpatient clinic observations, bedside patient evaluations, case discussions, and seminar sessions. Students will develop core clinical skills by learning the step-by-step physical examination of the cardiovascular system, including pulse assessment, blood pressure measurement, cardiac auscultation, and peripheral circulation examination. Practical training will also cover electrocardiography (ECG) interpretation, evaluation of basic echocardiography findings, recognition of emergency cardiac conditions, and clinical interpretation of essential laboratory tests. In addition, students will observe the diagnosis and management processes of common cardiovascular diseases such as acute coronary syndrome, heart failure, and arrhythmias. The learning process will be further supported by case-based learning sessions, small group discussions, and simulation-based training. Interactive assessment methods will be used to enhance clinical reasoning and decision-making skills. |
| Mode of Delivery | Face to Face |
| Prerequisites | Before starting the Cardiology internship, students must have successfully completed core basic medical sciences courses, particularly anatomy (with emphasis on the cardiovascular system), physiology, pathology, and pharmacology. In addition, students are expected to have achieved competence in basic clinical skills, including history-taking, physical examination, and basic life support, and to possess introductory-level knowledge consistent with the internal medicine rotation. Students must also have been instructed in patient safety, infection control, and ethical principles prior to commencing the internship. |

Objectives of the Course
The aim of cardiology education is to ensure that students understand the anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular system, are able to evaluate cardiovascular symptoms, and can perform systematic physical examination and basic diagnostic methods, particularly electrocardiography (ECG).
Within this scope, students are expected to learn the etiopathogenesis, clinical features, and diagnostic processes of common and important cardiovascular diseases, including chronic and acute heart failure, acute coronary syndromes, stable coronary artery disease, supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias, hypertension and hypertensive emergencies, pulmonary embolism, pulmonary hypertension, valvular heart diseases, cardiomyopathies, pericardial diseases (pericarditis, cardiac tamponade), myocarditis, adult congenital heart diseases, syncope, and aortic and peripheral arterial diseases.
