Learning outcomes of the learning unit

Clinical examination - general semiology

Au terme de ces cours, les étudiants pourront conduire une anamnèse et y relever les éléments importants, tenir un dossier et rédiger une observation médicale, réaliser un examen clinique général et mesurer les paramètres vitaux, et identifier les urgences vitales. Ils seront capables d'évaluer la valeur des tests médicaux et de comprendre la signification de la spécificité et de la sensibilité d'un test ainsi que de sa valeur prédictive positive et négative.

Diagnostic measurements - supplementary investigations

At the end of this course, the student will be able to understand the interest of prescribing additional medical imaging or clinical biology examinations and to apply these reasoning to his daily practice.

Biochemistry and normal and pathological human physiology, Endocrine system and metabolism

The objective of the course is to master the principles of biochemistry and physiology of the human endocrine system and of the metabolism of the human organism. Furthermore, the student will have understood the importance of feedbacks and interactions between the different parts of the regulatory systems.
More specifically, the learning objectives correspond to the table of contents of the course, described in detail in the "contents of the teaching unit" section.

At the end of this course, students will be able to describe the principles of functioning :

-of the nervous system: communication via electrical and chemical signals
-of the somatic sensory systems (somesthesia, vision, hearing, olfaction, gustation, proprioception)
-of the somatic motor system (automatic and voluntary control of muscle strength)
-of the vegetative motor system (sympathetic and parasympathetic) controlling certain internal organs
-of the main cognitive functions (memory, attention, language, etc.)
-of the state systems (sleep, emotion, consciousness, internal state)
-of the development and plasticity of the nervous system

For each area, teaching will be illustrated by pathological and therapeutic applications.
