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.
