Identification of dietetic/nutritional support needs. Treatment from the educational, preventive and clinical point of view in general and specialist medicine and surgery. Planning and carrying out actions of dietetic/nutritional support in different diseases

This course is part of an integrated course consisting of the following subjects: Endocrinology Gastroenterology Nephrology Technical and Applied Dietetic Sciences 3 (STDA3) Learning assessment is conducted simultaneously for all subjects in the course through oral exams aimed at assessing the knowledge and technical-practical skills required for each subject.

Grade grading:

- Knowledge of only some essential elements and analytical skills that emerge only with the assistance of the instructor, using generally correct language (grade: 18-19);

- More extensive knowledge and independent analytical skills only on some aspects, using correct language (grade: 20-24);

- Good knowledge of all essential aspects, ability to make independent, reasoned analysis decisions, demonstrating mastery of specific terminology (grade: 25-29);

- Comprehensive knowledge, ability to make independent, reasoned analysis decisions, connecting different topics, full command of specific terminology, and argumentative skills (grade: 30-30L).

The grade obtained will then be considered in the overall context of the exam for the Integrated Course in MEDICAL SCIENCES I, taking into account the credits assigned to the individual subjects.
