LEARNING OUTCOMES
The purpose of the course is to provide students an adequate image of:
- viral
- bacterial
- parasitic sexually transmitteddiseases,
especially on:
- clinical aspects,
- laboratory investigation,
- preventive measures and treatment options
Students will be taught contagious infectious diseases and conditions such as:
- folliculitis
- impetigo
- erythrasma
- pitted keratolysis
- fungal infections
- onychomycosis
- Pediculosis and Pthiriasis
Viewing numerous images will help students become familiar with:
- Benign conditions (nevus, skin tags, seborrheic keratoses)
- Skin cancers (melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma)
- Autoimmune diseases (vitiligo, pemphigus, bullous pemphigoid, dermatitis herpetiformis)
- Inflammatory diseases (psoriasis, lichen planus, Reiter’s syndrome)
They will have knowledge about:
- pigmented and achromic nevus,
- common skin neoplasms
Upon completion of the courses the students will have understood:
- The clinical picture of above dermatoses
- Their transmission
- Protection, avoiding transmission and counseling patients accordingly
- Awareness and ability to evaluate ‘’suspicious’’ lesions or skin changes
