Course Description Course Name : Cardiology Course Code : MED607 Course Type : Compulsory Level of Course : First Cycle Year of Study : 6 Course Semester : Fall and Spring (52 Weeks) ECTS : 3 Name of Lecturer(s) : Prof.Dr. AYHAN USAL Prof.Dr. MUSTAFA DEMİRTAŞ Prof.Dr. ABDİ BOZKURT Prof.Dr. MESUT DEMİR Prof.Dr. MEHMET KANADAŞI Asst.Prof.Dr. ALİDENİZ Prof.Dr. MUSTAFA DEMİRTAŞ Learning Outcomes of the Course : All students are well informed with the pathophysiology of the cardiac diseases. Students are capable of taking history from the patients, preaparing medical reports and epicrisis. Students can asses the history, physical examination and the vital signs of the patients (pulse rate, respiration rate, body temperature and blood pressure). Students can follow-up the in-patients in terms of giving orders and managing their treatments. Students can analyse the patients with common cardiac diseases individually, make differantial diagnosis, plan the theraphy and regulate fluid and electrolyte balance. Students are well informed about the drug interactions, can prepare recipes and can inform the patient about his or her disease. Students can open venous vascular access, can obtain venous and capillary blood samples and prepare the dugs of the patients. Students can assess the urgency of the clinical situation. Students can evaluate the results of commonly requested laboratory tests (either normal or pathological) and plan for further tests if necessary. Students try to improve their medical knowledges and skills by using the information resources to get the latest updated evidence based medicine. Students are well informed about creating conditions for healthy living and disease prevention methods of preventive medicine, informed in good clinical practice and ethics and can make health education for risk groups in society (both for individuals and groups). For the management of the diseases, students can communicate with patients, patient’s relatives, colleagues and trainers after that with the commitment to ethical principles, try to learn patient preference and use the most current evidence for the decision-making.
