The aim of course „Cardiology elective“ is case based teaching of cardiovascular diseases. The whole course will be organized as rounds with experienced mentors who would choose interesting cases of cardiovascular diseases. Students will take the patient history and do physical examination under the supervision of their mentor and then the specific case will be discussed. The focus will be on differential diagnosis, methods and also possible therapeutic possibilities for each particular case. Alternatively, part of the teaching will be performed in several diagnostic laboratories (cathlabs, echolab etc) of our department. Every practical (rounds) will be unique due to the spectrum of at that time hospitalized patients, thus every week should be a new disease case.

This course is not meant to replace standard cardiology course that is organized by our department during the 5th year. But rather to be a complimentary teaching which should help the students to develop superb clinical skills and thinking. The teaching will be performed in maximally interactive way, therefore the students are expected to be very proactive.

The subject „Cardiology elective“ takes place during summer semester, the introductory lesson starts at 14:30 at the 2nd Department of Internal Medicine in the Eiselt hall (entrance A14b, 1st floor).

The teaching will take place at the 2nd Department of Internal Medicine every Tuesday from 14:30, students will be met in front of the Eiselt Hall before every lecture.
