Internal Medicine II

Kidney and immunology. Since I was based in the 2nd department for this semester I can only give my opinions based on being there. There are no specialized kidney or immunological cases here, most of the time was spent theoretically. These departments are based at the 1st department so you have many more opportunities to see practical cases there. There are three special practices in this semester based on dialysis, plasmaphorisis and blood lab, these are mainly lectures or a tour but there are registered so they count towards your overall attendance. You will find out in the first few lectures when your group is scheduled to have these so make a note of them, or get someone to make a note of them. How to pass There is no difference between this and the previous year, what you did to pass that one will be just as good to pass this one Most of the theory for this semester will have been covered by physiology in the second year and from third year pathophysiology and pathology

There is no need to go to the lectures, it is a similar story to the third year

You will need to know the most important diseases for the kidney and immunology and at least one example of medication to give if there is one
