This course offers an introduction to the most important human diseases, their diagnoses and treatments, and the clinical practice of local Danish physicians from Danish university hospitals. There are also opportunities to practice writing patient cases and learn introductory skills in, for example, suturing, intravenous catheter insertion, and basic and advanced life support.
Note: Please be aware that the course does not provide regular medical training corresponding to that of medical students and does not include shadowing of doctors or physical examination of patients.
Many students tell me that by the end of the semester this experiential learning experience, they become certain whether or not to attend medical school. One of my goals is to facilitate this thought process, helping them each to discover whether medical school is right for them.
