Course contents :
|
| The Master's course in digestive PATHOLOGY aims at introducing students to various clinical aspects with adults and children: surgery, anatomo-pathology, radiology, pharmacology, and radiotherapy.
We thus consider pathologies of the following organs: oesophagus, stomach, liver and hepatic ducts, pancreas, small intestine, colorectum, and anus. The aim of the course is to introduce students to essential medical and surgical steps in the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to digestive pathologies. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| Learning objectives are specified within each major sections. Notions of anatomy, pathological anatomy and physiology are recalled whenever it proves necessary. Each chapter begins with a table of notions that have to be known on the discussed pathologies. Some paragraphes (with a heading that says "Pour les plus curieux") provide further information particularly for those students who think of specialising in Digestive Pathology (whether medical or surgical). |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Having passed the 1st épreuve de Docteur en Médecine (1st year of the 2nd cycle in the degree in medicine) |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| Presence at consultations and ARC |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| The lectures take place during the first semester at the auditoires in the CHU. The schedules (lecture, CR sessions, practical exercises, hospital practice) will be available on the Faculté de Médecine website and on the Décanat's noticeboard.
The latest reform injects more interactivity and participation in the learning process. Therefore the clinical lectures have been replaced by clinical reasoning sessions.
During those sessions, groups of 8 to 10 students work with a supervisor on a clinical case. One of the students plays the role of the patient, while the others act successively as the physician. One of the students is charged with taking the notes from the interactive session.. The objective is to learn how to establish a diagnostic: the student playing the role of the patient provides the basic information at the beginning of the session and the other students build the diagnostic while interacting with him. |
