MEDI-2204 Semiology I and Primary Attention in the Community

The semiology course is the student’s first contact with patients in a clinical setting. Its fundamental objective is learning to write a complete clinical history putting communications skills learned in previous semesters into practice and developing new communications and clinical skills for proper patient approach, the process in a clinical history in its components of anamnesis, physical examination and analysis. Students learn and understand the principles of semiology understood as a logical process where the signs and symptoms are analyzed for purposes of identifying a disease or clinical syndrome. The emphasizes the taking of a general clinical history, examination of head and neck, examination of cardiovascular and peripheral vascular system and examination of respiratory system. This organization is done simultaneously with the integrating systems course. The social medicine house call module is a part of this course where students will have the opportunity to make house calls on patients suffering chronic diseases. These are patients who attend the university hospital and have been chosen in advance by teachers.

MEDI-2207 Medicine Health Systems II

The Health Systems II course comprises the Public Health, Provision of Health Services, Occupational Health. Each one of these modules will undergo an evaluation process to which a percentage value will be allocated corresponding to the academic load during the course in the following manner: Public Health module 25%, Provision of Health Services module 50% and Occupational Health module 25%, in such a manner that the course’s final grade will be the sum total in percentage values of the final grades of each one of the modules. It is important to note that students must pass three modules in order to pass the Health Systems II (MEDI 2207) Course, i.e., if they fail any of the three, even if they have the maximum grade in another module, the final grade for the course will not be a pass.

MEDI-2407 Medical Parasitology

Due to our geographic location, the diseases caused by microorganisms represent a significant percentage of visits to the doctor, and generate public health problems in specific regions of the country. Among the agents that cause these illnesses, parasites represent an important area in our Latin American countries. In Colombia, different sources of transmission of parasitic diseases, favored by the climatic conditions and the presence of animal vectors and reservoirs, have been recognized and studied. In addition, permanent or occasional human invasion is more common in inhospitable regions of the country that allow the perpetuation of the transmission of an illness or the description of other infectious agents in humans. In the course of Medical Parasitology, together with parasitologists of the Universidad de los Andes, reviews the main parasitic diseases in humans from different perspectives such as basic science, clinical science and research.
