additional remarks | In the module "Medical technology 1 – an organ system-based approach", the fundamentals of therapeutic and diagnostic medical technology are taught in a structured manner for specific organ systems. This is accomplished with a systematic approach that first presents the anatomical and physiological basics of the organ system, and subsequently addresses the relative pathology with a selection of the most common diseases. Finally, the medical technology solutions for the diagnosis and therapy are presented. Here, besides well-established medical technology, we will also address new developments and emerging strategies reaching the clinic, such as regenerative medicine (e.g., cell therapy). By offering units on basic knowledge (e.g., cell biology, imaging techniques, anatomical terminology), all students are brought up to the same level of preparation, independently of their previous education. The module “Medical technology 1 – an organ system-based approach” focuses on the following organ systems (subject to change): Integumentary system (skin), cardiovascular system, skeletal system, muscular system and sensory system (e.g. the eye). Guest lectures from medical technology companies in the Munich area as well as clinicians active in Munich clinics complement the lectures with expert insights in different applications related to the treated organ systems. The module is complementary to “Medical Technology 2 – an organ system-based approach”, which deals with other organ systems. |
