Course contents :

|
 | | Digestive and stomatologic pathologies |
|
| 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. |
| | Urological pathologies |
|
| 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 tumors 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 development of benign prostate hyperplasia, and as many as 30% of adult women have continence problems. It is therefore obvious that the main protagonists during this teaching module will stand beside the urologist: the pathologist to describe and analyse tissues, in particular tumors; the radiologist to provide diagnostic and interventional imaging, the paediatrician to look at infant anomalies and functional problems, the pharmacologist to treat disorders affecting the functions of the genito-urinary system, and the oncologist/radiation therapist to treat certain oncological problems. |

Learning outcomes of the course :
|
|
| | Digestive and stomatologic pathologies |
|
| 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). |
| | Urological pathologies |
|
| 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. |
| | Gynaecological and genetic pathologies |
|
| See list above. |
|
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
|
| | Digestive and stomatologic pathologies |
|
| Having passed the 1st épreuve de Docteur en Médecine (1st year of the 2nd cycle in the degree in medicine) |
| | Urological pathologies |
|
| 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. |
| | Gynaecological and genetic pathologies |
|
| The content of the courses of anatomy, histology and gynaecological physiology delivered during the 3 first years of medical school are considered as mastered and are necessary for the good comprehension of the course. |
|
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
|
| | Digestive and stomatologic pathologies |
|
| Presence at consultations and ARC |
| | Urological pathologies |
|
| Practical works carried out in Anatomical Pathology and Radiology. In Urology, training classes are organised together with consultations, explorations, interventions and lectures. |
| | Gynaecological and genetic pathologies |
|
| In the field of teaching, integration of information technics and communication has become mandatory. It allows a great diversity of teaching practices and of increasing quality of your learning skills.
In order to implement these technics into the course of gynaecology, an online platform (eCampus) is now devoted to your acquisition and testing of your knowledge. It supplements the course delivered in the amphitheatre and those 2 approaches are not separable. |
|
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
|
| | Digestive and stomatologic pathologies |
|
| 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 partly been replaced by clinical reasoning sessions. Clinical teaching is is made of clinical lectures for a half and clinical reasoning session for the other half.
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. |
| | Urological pathologies |
|
| The courses run from the 15th September to the 25th of December and take place in the CHU lecture halls (quadrimester 9). |
| | Gynaecological and genetic pathologies |
|
| Face-to-face + online approach (eCampus). |

| | Urological pathologies |
|
| A syllabus will be provided by teachers together with a CD ROM or an access to MyULg. For the pathology sub-discipline, « Basic Pathology » from Robbins 7th edition is the reference.
Notes are available at my ULg. |

|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
|
| | Digestive and stomatologic pathologies |
|
| Multidisciplinary written and oral exams, practical assignments, and practices in January |
| | Urological pathologies |
|
| Written exam (Multiple Choice Questions) and an oral exam in the framework of a multi-disciplinary exam. Obligatory presence in stages, practical courses and ARC. |
| | Gynaecological and genetic pathologies |
|
| An auto-evaluation taking place prior to the start of the course and devided in 3 parts (Histology Pr P Quatresooz, Physiology Pr M Nisolle, Anatomy Pr P Bonnet) is accessible. Its content is necessary for the good comprehension of the course in Master 2. A PDF reference document is at your disposal and has been established in cooperation with the professors in each of 3 disciplines. This auto-evaluation is not mandatory but is warmly recommended. Its content will not be reviewed during the face-to-face course. |
|
|
Work placement(s) :
|
|
| | Gynaecological and genetic pathologies |
|
| We have concentrated on 6 theoretical modules allowing an integration of the knowledge and of the theory that have been delivered during the face-to-face course.
Regarding the clinical stages as such, 2 half-days of supervised outpatient clinic will be accessible to you with a primary objective to get exposed to the main gynaecological symptoms and develop capacities to explore them efficiently. |
|
|
Organizational remarks :
|
|
| | Digestive and stomatologic pathologies |
|
| The module is taught in French. |
| | Gynaecological and genetic pathologies |
|
| Auto-evaluations only make sense if they are realised individually. |
