Learning Outcome
After participating in module 1 of the TUM MSc Radiation Biology students acquire the competence
- to understand the anatomical, pathological and pathophysiological features of the different morbidities which may occur weeks, months or years after radiotherapy in the radiation exposed organs,
- to characterize the anatomical, pathological and pathophysiological features of the different manifestations of radiation diseases which may occur after accidental radiation exposures,
- to describe the anatomical, pathological and pathophysiological features of the late and very late morbidities such as cancer and non-cancer diseases which may occur after low and intermediate doses from occupational or radiological exposures.

Learning and Teaching Methods
The module consists of lectures and seminars in which the interactions of the anatomical, pathological and pathophysiological manifestations of specific diseases and their clinical symptoms are discussed as an integrated program of organ specific blocks. Students are supposed to be encouraged to study textbooks, which are intended for students from Medicine in (Pre-)clinic or for the apprenticeship in medical assistant jobs, to deepen the knowledge of the lectures.

Module Exam
Description of exams and course work
The written module examination tests whether the competences described above have been achieved by requesting the answer to questions in free text which demands the combination of anatomical, pathological, physiological and pathophysiological knowledge to describe the radiation-induced transformations in the anatomy of the human, as well as the physiological functions of the human body. Duration: 90 min.
Exam Repetition
The exam may be repeated at the end of the semester.
