Objectives of the Course	General Surgery The aim of this course is to teach basic surgical topics to forth year medical students with lectures, problem based learning, paper presentations and bed side training. Each student expected to incorporate basic knowledge and clinical experience to obtain modern patient-oriented clinical care. During the course, the students will have opportunities to join out- and in- patient care with medical teachers and other health professionals. Thoracic Surgery This course aims to provide necessary knowledge about the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical symptoms and signs, differential diagnosis and treatment of general thoracic surgical pathologies. Anesthesiology and Reanimation This course aims to provide basic knowledge about: • the general anesthesia, regional anesthesia, and local anesthesia, • basic and advanced monitoring of the patient during anesthesia and ICU, • analysis of arterial blood gases, • pain and analgesics, • basic and advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation, oxygen therapy and mechanical ventilation. Plastic, Reconstructive& Aesthetic Surgery This course aims to provide necessary knowledge about the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical symptoms and signs, differential diagnosis and treatment of burns, wound healing, traumas, congenital disorders related to plastic & reconstructive surgery, maxillofacial traumas, aesthetic surgery, breast reconstruction, basic reconstructive surgical methods. . Students will be able to join the surgeries, and perform several interventions. Additionally, they will learn what their responsibilities are and acquire the necessary attitudes and behaviors about ‘patients’ rights and privacy.
