Learning outcomes - knowledge
(in Polish) From 2025/2026:
W1: describes the forms and development stages of selected parasitic protozoa, trematodes, tapeworms, nematodes and arthropods that are invasive to humans, taking into account the geographical range of their occurrence (C.W10)
W2: describes the epidemiology of parasitic infections, including the geographical range of their occurrence (C.W11)
W3: indicates the principles of functioning of the parasite-host system and describes the basic symptoms of invasive diseases (C.W12)
W4: describes the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of parasitic infections and indicates the consequences of parasitic infections (C.W12)
W5: discusses the basics of diagnosing parasitic diseases (including indications, principles of performance and interpretation of the results) (C.W15)
W6: characterizes the types of biological materials used in parasitological diagnostics (E.W39)
W7: describes the rules for collecting material for parasitological tests (E.W39)
W8: describes the determinants of parasitic diseases and methods of identifying and examining risk factors for parasitic diseases (G.W2.)
W9: determines the advantages and disadvantages of epidemiological research in relation to human parasites and the principles of cause-and-effect inference in medicine (G.W2.)
Before 2025/2026:

Learning outcomes - skills
(in Polish) From 2025/2026:

U2: recognizes selected human parasites based on their structure (C.U5)
U3: critically analyzes medical literature on infections and epidemiology of parasitic diseases and draws appropriate conclusions (D.U5.)
U4: describes the demographic structure of the population and, on this basis, assesses and predicts health problems of the population in terms of the risk of parasitic diseases (G.U1.)
U5: collects information on the conditions and presence of risk factors for parasitic diseases and plans preventive actions at various levels of prevention (G.U2.)
