Course contents :
|
| Urologic disorders are very common and account for 10% of outpatient consultations to general practitioners. They can arise at any stage of life (urinary lithiasis), be detected ante-natally (congenital diseases); yet, urogenital tumors account for most cases: 35% of all malignant tumurs in men develop in urogenital organs. Urinary problems can also stem from benign conditions: 30% of men suffer from lower urinary tract symptoms due to the dvelopment of benign prostate hyperplasia, and 40% of adult women have continence problems. It is clear therefore that the main protagonists in this teaching session will stand beside the urologist; the pathologist to describe and analyse tissues, in particular tumurs; the radiologist to provide diagnostic and interventional imaging; the paediatrician to look at infant anomalies and functional problems; the pharmacologist to treat disorders in the functioning of the genito-urological system, and the radiotherapist to treat certain oncological problems. |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| The main objective is to provide students with the necessary pathological knowledge and techniques so that they can best act when confronted with urological problems. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Basic knowledge of the following fields is indispensable: embryology, anatomy, physiology, nephrology, and bacteriology. Advanced knowledge of semiology and propedeutics are essential in order to approach this subject. |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| The practical work carried out in Anatomical Pathology and Radiology. In Urology training classes are organised together with consultations, explorations, interventions and lectures. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| The course runs from the 15th September to the 25th of December and takes place in the CHU lecture halls. |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| A syllabus will be provided together with a Radiology and Urology CD. |
