Objectives and competences

Students will learn about the normal body anatomy.

Competences: knowledge and understanding of composition and functioning of human body systems, with some emphasis on the radiotherapeutic approach. Evaluation and application of new knowledge in the area of anatomy and physiology, in particular from the clinical point of view.

Intended learning outcomes

Knowledge and understanding:
Obtaining basic knowledge about key systems in a human body, their relationship and interactions. Overview of tumor structure.

Application:
Use of basic anatomy concepts for solving problems in physical medicine.

Reflection:
Critical evaluation of theoretical predictions in comparison to experimental results.

Transferable skills:
Ability to communicate with experts from medical fields, identification of clinical problems with the basic understanding of anatomy.

Learning and teaching methods

Lectures, problem classes, homework, consultations.

Assessment

2 tests with problem solving, written exam (problem solving)
oral exam (questions from lectures)
Marks: 5 (not passed), 6-10 (passed) (according to the UL rules).
