The aim of Pediatrics course is to introduce students to basic principles of pediatric science and practice :
- Specificities of pediatric history and pediatric examination
- Neurological examination of neonates, infants, toddlers, and older children
- Growth and development with special emphasis on psychomotor development
- Etiology and pathogenesis including specific etiological factors and inheritance
- Clinical manifestations and differential diagnosis of the most common diseases and disorders in childhood according to age of the patient
- Contemporary diagnostic procedures, treatment options, prognosis and prevention in pediatrics.
The goal of the practical classes is to train students to recognize symptoms and signs of different diseases in childhood and adolescence and to discuss principles of adequate diagnostics and treatment. Students are expected to be responsible for evaluating pediatric patients in all settings (ambulatory, inpatient and newborn nursery) - not only taking histories and performing physical exams, but challenging themselves to interpret these findings, create differential diagnosis, and formulate diagnostic and therapeutic plans.
