Course content
This course offers a general introduction to medicine. It deals with the anatomy and physiology of the body, from cell to organ. A number of common diseases like heart attack, cancer, stroke and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease will be covered in more depth. Attention is drawn to how public healthcare is organized. Through the course students will also gain an insight into how patients are examined and treated when seeing a medical practitioner. Preventive medicine and epidemiology is also addressed in lectures. The course gores less in depth than a corresponding couse on master level (MFEL3010). Ethical dilemmas will be subject to discussion. Lectures and course materials are available in English.
Learning outcome
After completing the course, the student should have gotten a general introduction to the medical terminology, a fundamental introduction to anatomy and physiology, and examples of how this relates to disease. In that context there will be given examples of diseases within each organ system. The students will be expected to be able to draw inferences about the connection between structure, function and disease within these themes. Finally, there will be given an introduction to some themes in medical imaging, community medicine and ethical issues in medicine.
