The aim of the course is to provide students with the knowledge about clinical symptoms, diagnosis and current treatment of endocrine diseases.

The course includes 6 hours of lectures, 12 hours of seminars and 12 hours of tutorials. Topics of seminars are concerned with the most frequent diseases of endocrine system. The aim of the course is to provide students with the knowledge about clinical symptoms, diagnosis and current treatment of endocrine diseases. During exercises students have the opportunity to use this knowledge in clinical practice and to acquire or improve practical skills.
