Course Objective

Course Objective:
The aim of this course is to understand the fundamental etiological agents of infectious diseases, their diagnosis and differential diagnosis, and the basic principles of treatment.
Additionally, the course aims to review the normal structure and function of the organs related to hearing and balance, to recognize diseases associated with these systems, to learn how to perform an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) examination, and to understand the diagnosis and treatment of common upper respiratory tract infections.
Moreover, students will gain an understanding of the normal anatomical structure of the eye, the functions of ocular tissues, the physiology of vision, and the differential diagnosis of conditions that cause visual impairment and red eye.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1	To perform examination of the nose, throat, and neck
2	To manage and control epistaxis
3	To recognize the signs and symptoms of otitis media and explain its treatment principles
4	To interpret audiological tests used in the assessment of hearing loss
5	To describe the pathophysiology of adult ear diseases (otosclerosis, Ménière s disease, presbycusis) and explain their diagnosis and treatment
6	To identify salivary gland diseases
7	To describe the normal anatomical structure of the eye and explain the functions of its tissues
8	To measure visual acuity, perform color vision testing, conduct confrontation visual field testing, assess pupillary light reflexes, and perform direct ophthalmoscopy
9	To explain the refraction of light in the eye and the mechanism of vision, and to relate these to refractive errors
10	To evaluate the symptom of decreased vision and perform differential diagnosi
11	To explain the causes of red eye and discuss the underlying disorders; to explain the principles and importance of contact lens use
12	To explain the pathogenesis of HIV/AIDS and discuss its diagnosis and treatment
13	To discuss the importance of hospital-acquired infections and principles of prevention
14	To explain the mechanism of intraocular pressure formation, classify types of glaucoma, and analyze the emergency management and importance of acute angle-closure glaucoma
15	To discuss the diagnosis and treatment of cataract
16	To evaluate the impact of visual impairment on the individual, relatives, environment, and society; and to identify preventable causes of blindness
