Medical Professional (Trajectory)
Full course description
To educate and inspire students into motivated, self-regulated, life-long learners in essential medical knowledge domains. By learning these domains, students construct a solid knowledge basis that allows them to analyse complex health issues, comprehend the rationale behind consultation skills, clinical skills and clinical reasoning and to create a (differential) diagnosis and plan of action (prevention/treatment/diagnostics/care policy) based on the care request of the patient. The student is conscious of their attitude and professional behaviour and mindful of diversity aspects (biological, and contextual differences), is able to build a relationship with the patient and is curious and willing to explore the person behind the patient (holistic view) in the context of various health care and global settings.

At the end of the Bachelor (BaMED), the student performs an integrated consultation (clinical skills and CORE) (Whole task) in patients with a standardized/simple symptom/problem and who are ABCDE hemodynamically stable. The student demonstrates the skills in a simulated professional situation and is able to apply the skills under direct/indirect supervision in a simple practice setting (patient contact/start clinical rotation/intramural/extramural) while ensuring patient safety.
Specific skills with respect to acute care and therapeutic and laboratory skills
At the end of the Bachelor of Medicine, the student is able to:
- • Recognise a critically ill patient and perform the basic interventions included in acute care (BLS AED in adults is a mastery skill). (MED-3)
- • Demonstrate interventions included in therapeutic skills in an integrated consultation (Whole task). (MED-2, MED-3, MED-5)
- • Perform interventions included in additional laboratory diagnostics (aimed especially at POCT) and handle human sample materials and the required instruments in an integrated consultation professionally and safely (Whole task). (MED-2, MED-3, MED-5)
1C. Specific skills with respect to communication and consultation skills, using patient- appropriate language, in a diversity-sensitive and non-judgmental way:
At the end of the Bachelor of Medicine, the student is able to:
- • apply motivating interviewing techniques with respect to simple preventive measures and lifestyle and behavioural changes. (HEALTH ADV-1, HEALTH ADV-2)
- • discuss the results and diagnosis with the patient and/or relatives. This includes breaking bad news in a simulated and/or simple practice setting. (COM-1, COM-4)
- • avert a threatening aggressive escalation in a conversation and apply de-escalating techniques in a simulated professional situation and/or simple practice setting. (COM-1)
