| Course Objectives | The aim is for students to gain the skills to define the principles of preventive medicine with a holistic approach in cases related to diseases in the fields of Ear Nose Throat (ENT), dermatology, ophthalmology and plastic surgery, to take a comprehensive history and perform a systematic physical examination, to plan rational diagnostic tests appropriate for preliminary diagnosis/diagnoses, to take samples for selected diagnostic procedures, to create a holistic treatment plan, to plan and apply patient-centered treatment principles for cases that can be managed in the primary care setting. It is expected that the student will approach the patient with biopsychosocial integrity, to make decisions in accordance with the principles of critical thinking and clinical reasoning while applying clinical decision-making processes, and to be aware of his/her ethical and legal responsibilities. |

| Course Description | This course aims to teach the fundamental principles and approaches in the epidemiology, clinics, diagnosis, and management of diseases frequently encountered in primary care, specifically in Otolaryngology (ENT), Dermatology, Ophthalmology, and Plastic Surgery. Students will gain practical knowledge and skills ranging from ENT examinations and treatments, dermatological assessments and management of skin lesions, diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases, to plastic and reconstructive surgical procedures. During the internship, students will learn to access reliable information sources, utilize evidence-based medical tools, and correlate the obtained information with the patient's condition. Evaluating the effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and potential side effects of various diagnostic methods and differentiating between emergent and non-urgent situations will also be key components of this internship. This program allows students to experience disease management in clinical and emergency settings and develop competence in a multidisciplinary approach across various medical fields. |
