9. Correlations between the contents of the discipline and the expectations of the community representatives, professional associations and representative employers in the domain Due to advances in medicine that lead to frequent use of invasive and/or immune suppressive treatments
there is an increase of the number of patients vulnerable to bacterial infections. Mobility, intense traveling
contributes to the rapid spread of microorganisms. In this context there is a need for well trained
physicians having proper knowledge on infectious agents involved in human diseases, being able to
recognize, diagnose and treat them. The potential to cause epidemics, outbreaks should be recognized in
order to implement specific measures of prevention. On the other hand, emergence and spread of
antimicrobial resistance are of great concern, representing an increasing challenge in the management of
infections. Understanding these medical problems, learning and promoting proper antimicrobial
consumption habits are essential.

9. Correlations between the contents of the discipline and the expectations of the community representatives, professional associations and representative employers in the domain Due to advances in medicine that lead to frequent use of invasive and/or immunsuppressive treatments
there is an increase of the number of patients vulnerable to infections caused by fungi, viruses and
parasites. In this context there is a need for well trained physicians having proper knowledge on infectious
agents involved in human diseases, being able to recognize, diagnose and treat them.

Professional competencies
Professional competences obtained by students are in medical
interpretation of test results obtained in laboratory evaluation of water and
electrolytes balance, carbohydrates, lipids and proteins metabolism,
diagnostic value of serum enzymes analysis, coagulation tests, specific
and non-specific cellular and humoral immun system evaluation. Medical
students will learn modern laboratory methods for investigation of
biological fluids – their quality and limits.
Transversal competencies
Clinical Biochemistry and Immunology discipline aims to form student
capacity for integration of basic knowledges in biochemistry, physiology
/physiopathology and internal medicine, in producing useful correlations
at patient bedside, in reccomending and analysing laboratory
investigations in clinical context.
Analysis capacity of preanalitical influence (collecting, transportation and
storage of biological fluids) in laboratory test results, is also stimulated.
7. Objectives of the discipline (based on the grid of specific competencies)
7.1 General objective General aim of our discipline is to create a logical base in asking and
interpretation of laboratory investigations.
7.2 Specific objectives
Pathogenic mechanisms in modification of laboratory parameters in
diseases; diagnostic value of laboratory tests, correlations established
between clinical context and laboratory results.

7. Objectives of the discipline (based on the grid of specific competencies)
7.1 General objective
Pharmacology is a basic science, included in the curriculum for third
year medical students, which aim is to provide students with the
following knowledge:
• knowledge of the most important drug classes, the organotrophic
medications, the main therapeutic drug classes, correlations between
action and chemical structure
7.2 Specific objectives
• • Understanding the mechanisms of action of the drug molecule on
the level of cells, tissues, organs and systems, on molecular and
receptorial level, and on the level of the whole human body
• knowledge of indications, contraindications, adverse effects,
pharmacokinetics, dosage, drug associations and interactions for
each drug class
• During the practical activities students learn the general rules of
medical prescriptions ( compound, precompound, officinal), and the
basics of pharmacovigilence
• Understanding of basic concepts of general pharmacology,
pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, pharmacotoxicology and
dosage regardind the following drug cathegories: drugs acting on
peripheral neurotransmission and tissue active substances, drugs
acting on central nervous system, blood, respiratory system,
gastrointestinal system, urinary tract and uterus, endocrine and
metabolic processes, antiinflamatory drugs, antimicrobial and
antiparasitic chemotherapy, anticancer agents

Professional competencies
Students will acquire general and practical knowledge concerning aseptic
and antiseptic, surgical infections, burns and frostbite, hemorrhage and
hemostasis, clinical examination of the abdomen, abdominal trauma,
surgical semiology of the neck, limbs, chest and abdomen, veins and
arteries diseases.
Students will be able to take the history and perform physical
examination and some basic diagnostic maneuvers, requiring appropriate
complementary examinations and a plan for primary secondary and
tertiary prevention, in a given situation.
Transversal competencies
Students will develop teamwork abilities, oral and written communication
skills, and will develop their professional and ethical values, clinical
problem solving and correct therapeutic decision making .
7. Objectives of the discipline (based on the grid of specific competencies) 7.1 General objective Notions of surgical semiology
7.2 Specific objectives
To acquire the necessary knowledge about the organization and
functioning of surgery clinics, preparation of clinical observation sheets,
acquisition of necessary notions about performance: clinical examination
equipment and systems, rectal and vaginal examinations, dressings,
bandages, surgical sutures, injections, punctures and biopsies, incision
and drainage, acquision of the necessary knowledge about laboratory
exploration in surgical conditions of the neck, breast, e4sophagus,
stomach, duodenum, smalland large bowel, rectum, liver, gall blader,
pancreas and spleen, acquiring technical knowledge required on clinical
examination of the mammmary region, abdomen, veins and peripheral
artery diseases.

Professional competencies
Students will acquire general and practical knowledge concerning aseptic
and antiseptic, surgical infections, burns and frostbite, hemorrhage and
hemostasis, clinical examination of the abdomen, abdominal trauma,
surgical semiology of the neck, limbs, chest and abdomen, veins and
arteries diseases.
Students will be able to take the history and perform physical
examination and some basic diagnostic maneuvers, requiring appropriate
complementary examinations and a plan for primary secondary and
tertiary prevention, in a given situation.
Transversal competencies
Students will develop teamwork abilities, oral and written communication
skills, and will develop their professional and ethical values, clinical
problem solving and correct therapeutic decision making .
7. Objectives of the discipline (based on the grid of specific competencies) 7.1 General objective Notions of surgical semiology
7.2 Specific objectives
To acquire the necessary knowledge about the organization and
functioning of surgery clinics, preparation of clinical observation sheets,
acquisition of necessary notions about performance: clinical examination
equipment and systems, rectal and vaginal examinations, dressings,
bandages, surgical sutures, injections, punctures and biopsies, incision
and drainage, acquision of the necessary knowledge about laboratory
exploration in surgical conditions of the neck, breast, e4sophagus,
stomach, duodenum, smalland large bowel, rectum, liver, gall blader,
pancreas and spleen, acquiring technical knowledge required on clinical
examination of the mammmary region, abdomen, veins and peripheral
artery diseases.
