| Assessment | |||||||||
| Unaided Work: | Students independently gain skills in ENT organ endoscopic investigation. Improve skills in ortophonic, breathing, relaxation and articulation exercises. | ||||||||
| Assessment Criteria: | 1)Assessment of theoretical knowledge at the beginning of the corresponding practical class in a format of MCQ test (Multiple Choice Questions) or essay type questions about individually read material and literature about the topic. 2)During each practical class, each student is evaluated individually with a mark in a 10-grade system according to student’s involvement and activity during the class and the knowledge that he/she demonstrate. Criteria: • Student arrived on time for the class, • Student is in appropriate attire (white coat, change of shoes), • Student actively participates in the discussion, patient examination and/or analysis of clinical case, correctly answers teacher’s questions and is able to defend ones opinion. 3)Semester test at the end of the 4th semester about the semester topics and clinical skills. 4)Exam at the end of the 5th semester in a written form about the whole course. Final grade: At the end of each semester and at the end of the whole course, each student receives a mark in a 10-grade scale. 1. Final grade at the end of 5th semester consists of mean mark of the individual evaluations during practical classes. 2. Final grade at the end of 6th semester consists of mean mark of the individual evaluations during practical classes. 3. Final grade for the whole course consists of the 5th semester and 6th semester final grade and exam grade (accordingly 25%, 25% and 50%). | ||||||||

| Learning Outcomes | |||||||||
| Knowledge: | On completion of the study course students gain knowledge and: • characterise clinical anatomy of the nose and paranasal sinuses, pharynx, larynx and ear, outline physiology of the ENT organs and their main functions; • describe structure, principle of function and possible impairment of hearing and vestibular apparatus; • explain production of the speech, language and voice; • identify diseases of the ear, neck and nose; • classify treatment methods and organise treatment plan; • timely recognise complications of the diseases, in case of complicated and challenging treatment be able to organise multidisciplinary cooperation; • explain peculiarities of ENT organs and those located close by and related to ENT organs in different age groups. | ||||||||
| Skills: | On completion of the study course students: • demonstrate skills in endoscopic investigation of the ENT organs; • are able to interpret the results of additional investigations – hearing evaluation and radiological investigation; • perform ortophonic, breathing, relaxation and articulation exercises, are able to explain them and use them when working with patients; • interpret data of the acoustic investigation of the voice (jitter, shimmer, HNR, phonetogram, spectrogram). | ||||||||
| Competencies: | • are capable to plan their scientific thesis, use the results from the evidence based clinical trials found in literature overviews; • justify own opinion in planning rehabilitation in case of voice impairment; • gauge and give prognosis of the disease results; • know risk factors, treatment methods and prognosis affecting factors of the oncological diseases in the ENT organs. | ||||||||
