Will know the best ways to investigate and treat in various clinical situations. | ||||||||
| Skills: | Using the examination data, students will be able to formulate indications, evaluate contraindications and limitations of current and future methods for the diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases, and use standard techniques to select the most effective diagnostic and therapeutic route with maximum economic benefit in a given clinical situation. | ||||||||
