This course has three units: Ophthalmology, Otolaryngology and Dermatology. The Ophthalmology unit introduces students to common clinical problems in ophthalmology including the leading causes of vision loss: cataracts, glaucoma and age related macular degeneration. The Otolaryngology unit introduces students to common clinical problems of the head and neck in children and adults. Building on the foundations introduced in the Family Medicine course, students are exposed to more complex cases to develop a broader understanding of the presentation and management of these common conditions. The Dermatology Unit introduces students to common clinical problems of the skin in children and adults. The unit begins with an examination of the structure and function of the skin and moves to clinical presentations of common and uncommon skin disorders.
