Learning outcomes
The course gives an introduction to medical diagnostics and therapy as well as an understanding of how the physician works. The objective of the course is to give an introduction to medical terminology, physiological and medical principles and medical engineering methods for diagnosis and therapy. After the course, the students should be able to understand medical and medical engineering problems and communicate with physicians, medical engineers and representatives from research and development as well as industry.
Course main content
The most important concepts and fundamentals in: medical terminology, medical physiology, anatomy and histology, pathology, diagnosis and therapy.
Medical and technical aspects on technical methods used in physical diagnosis, cardiopulmonary physiology, clinical neurophysiology, diagnostic radiology, internal medicine and treatment, surgery, intensive care, obstetrics, radiotherapy and medical engineering industry and market.
Eligibility
General eligibility for university studies in Sweden, i.e. completed upper secondary education including documented proficiency in Swedish and English. and passed 120 cr. of studies in science and/or technology at university level. Excemption from Swedish when the course is given in English.
