Recognise the clinical presentation of important visceral disorders by integrating physical and historical data and identifying the pathophysiological processes responsible for the patients complaint; 2. Know aetiology and clinical aspects of common diseases; 3. Understand the pathogenesis of common diseases including the disturbances in anatomy, physiology and biochemistry; 4. Provide a differential diagnosis and final diagnosis of the organ system involved and disease(s) involved; 5. Describe the treatment principles, Chinese medicine treatment and self-care of common diseases and indications for referral; 6.

It also provides basic knowledge of diseases in western medicine and the diagnostic procedures, tests (laboratory pathology and imaging studies) Most of the study will focus on clinically related knowledge and facilitate further study in common clinical conditions. Since there is terminology peculiar to western medicine, western medicine terminology included in the course will contribute to achievement of communication capabilities that will be important in the work force, for example, practitioner communication with patients, their families, other health professionals, regulatory bodies, herbal / acupuncture instrument suppliers and the general public effectively. The course will be delivered via lectures and workshops,. The lectures will assist you in comprehending basic knowledge of western medical diseases, the diagnostic procedures and tests (laboratory pathology). Most of the lectures will focus on principles and practice of diagnosis in western medicine, especially the aetiology, pathogenesis, clinical aspects, diagnosis and non-drug self-care of the organ systems and diseases including indications for referral. Western medical treatment principles and Chinese medicine treatment for some commonly seen clinical conditions are also included. The Workshop classes will give the opportunity to consolidate the information given by the lecturer. You will be introduced to and expected to read the prescribed textbook. Written assessment tasks require you to learn how to think in a practical way about principles and practice of diagnosis in western medicine, especially the aetiology, pathogenesis, clinical aspects, diagnosis and non-drug self-care of the organ systems and diseases including indications for referral. Active and constructive participation in practical classes is expected in addition to weekly lectures, Workshops, reading and careful planning of assessment tasks. You are also expected to do a case study and topic presentation.
