The course
aims to provide students with a comprehensive view of the field of respiratory
medicine in all its breadth and complexity. For this reason, internships at the
Pneumology Clinic of Charles University First Faculty of Medicine and at FTN’s
Department of Thoracic Surgery were included in the syllabus. As pneumology and
pneumosurgery are closely related disciplines that follow each other, connecting
them in one course is logical and is an effort to approach the teaching of
clinical disciplines in a modern way. This connection shows pneumology as an
internal field with an overlap into surgical and morphological fields.
The main focus
of the weekly seminars and practical internships is becoming acquainted with
individual diseases of respiratory tract organs as well as their diagnosis,
differential diagnosis and treatment. Internships at the Pneumology Clinic are
complemented by lessons at the Department of Thoracic Surgery, which introduce
surgical treatment of diseases of respiratory tract organs through interactive
video presentations. Through practical exercises, students further
deepen their skills in the clinical examination of patients.
