https://www.wl.cm.umk.pl/katedra-chirurgii-ogolnej-i-transplantologii/

During classes in transplantology, the student gains knowledge in the field of organization of organ collection and transplantation in Poland and worldwide, legal regulations of organ collection and transplantation, directions of development of transplantology in the future, concepts, pathophysiology and diagnostics of brain death, organ collection technique and kidney transplantation technique, effects of immunosuppressive drugs, immediate and distant complications after organ transplantation. Seminars are used to discuss key basic information in the field of transplantology, including indications and contraindications for organ transplantation, perioperative and long-term care for the patient after transplantation. Principles of immunosuppressive treatment, most common complications after organ transplantation, including GVHD (graft versus host disease).

1. The workload associated with classes requiring direct participation of academic teachers is: - participation in seminars: 10 hours - participation in exercises: 15 hours - conducting the assessment: 1 hour The workload associated with classes requiring direct participation of academic teachers is 26 hours, which corresponds to 1.2 ECTS points 2. Student workload balance: - participation in seminars: 10 hours - participation in exercises: 15 hours - preparation for exercises (including reading the indicated literature): 6 hours - preparation for the assessment and assessment: 2 + 1. = 4 hours The total student workload is 35 hours, which corresponds to 1.5 ECTS points 3. Workload balance associated with the implementation of learning outcomes in medical simulation conditions - participation in exercises – 4.5 hours The total workload associated with the implementation of learning outcomes in medical simulation conditions is 4.5. hours, which is equivalent to 0.17 ECTS points; percentage of classes enabling achievement of learning outcomes: 15.% 4. Balance of workload related to realization of learning outcomes related to medical communication: -not applicable

Learning outcomes - knowledge

After completing the course the student has knowledge in the history of transplantology, organization of organ procurement and transplantation in Poland and in the world, legal regulations on organ procurement and transplantation, directions of future development in transplantation, concept, pathomechanism and diagnosis of brain death, organ harvesting techniques and kidney transplantation techniques , the effects of immunosuppressive drugs, direct and distant complications after organ transplants W1: knows the principles of qualifying patients for organ transplantation (F.W4). W2: knows the genetic basis of donor and recipient selection and transplant immunology (C.W22) W3: knows the principles of promoting tissue and cell donation, indications for transplantation of blood-containing organs, tissues and hematopoietic cells, treatment complications and principles of long-term care after transplantation (F.W21.) W4: knows the legal regulations regarding transplants (G.W9) W5: knows the principles of making a suspicion and recognizing brain death (F.W23) W6: knows the principles of pharmacotherapy for patients with renal failure and indications for renal replacement therapy (E.W8) W7: knows the principles of monitoring the patient in the postoperative period (F.W7). W8: describes the principles of perioperative safety, preparing the patient for surgery, performing general and local anesthesia and controlled sedation (F.W6.);

Learning outcomes - skills

After completing the course, the student is able to perform a full subjective and objective examination (medical history and physical examination) of the patient after organ transplantation and to interpret the results of laboratory and imaging tests. U3: takes an interview with an adult, including an older person, using skills related to the content, process and perception of communication, taking into account biomedical and patient perspectives (E.U1.); U4: conducts a complete and focused physical examination of the adult adapted to the specific clinical situation, (E.U5.).

Learning outcomes - social competencies

Student: - is aware of the importance of transplantology in the treatment of end-stage organ failure - accepts the concept of human death and brain death - recognizes and formulates ethical dilemmas related to transplantology - is aware of the importance of social education in the field of transplantology K1: being guided by the patient's well-being (K_K02 ) K2: taking action towards the patient based on ethical principles, with awareness of social conditions and limitations resulting from the disease (K_K04 )
